I had to talk with the manager of my project today because of the art I do.
Luckily he wasn’t angry, he just said that there are intimate things that are rather intimate and that it’s important to learn where things belong and that you should ask questions if you’re unsure. And all in all I think that’s valid.
He then said things like, for example, that you shouldn’t show these drawings to someone without their permission or something and that’s the point where I personally only half understand the problem
Because,
-
I haven’t shown anyone anything that was nsfw. They didn’t ask and didn’t even look at what I was doing. Teachers or pupils would have approached me safely, especially the pupils. They have the courage to do that.
-
I ALWAYS put my pictures in my folder, where no one else could get to them.
-
When I laminated them, I always put them in such a way that not everyone could see it and there were hardly any people present, just one or two teachers. And they could have approached me much earlier. I’ve been drawing nsfw ever since I’ve been there.
I have a theory. I think it’s because of the picture with Hange and Erwin where it said “And they are both pedos”. I also did NOT show the picture around. Nobody paid any attention to me. Except this one teacher who had to look straight up. The picture in its self was not even sensitive, (you can look up the picture here on my post). It just had the word “pedos” in one little sentence. The text wasn’t even big. She WANTED to read it. She also could have asked me lol.
I am not mad but I think it’s kinda confusing and a sign, that people are even afraid of the word “pedo”. It’s a sign that education is still important.
Any thoughts?
Bigotry
If I would have drawn two girls and wrote “And they are both lesbians” I am sure nothing would have happened. 💀
