The mockup had a cowboyish jolly character jumping around like you'd see in any platformer, some car towards the left...and a random wrench flying at him from nowhere.
Something's gotta be wrong if all of a sudden the most innocent picture of a guy jumping around becomes "offensive" just because the character is from a movie about gay culture. Art will depict stuff we dont like and that is completely fine, it is a form of comment and the fact that an image is depicted doesnt mean it's being enforced or supported, not even if the main character is the perpetrator of said horrible act.
Did you all miss Super Columbine Massacre RPG or something?
what's even worse, that WASNT even the case here!
We all love to act high an mighty by calling what we do ART, pixel-ART. But at the slightest (ACCIDENTAL!) insinuation of touching an actually relevant subject with our work what appears is blatant censorship and "political correctness". No wonder nobody takes the claims of "art" seriously.
