Anyone with a spine knows that this has gotten out of hand. Bitch machines think they have a right to shut other people up because they are (way too easily) offended.
It is not right that one has to speak in the same way as one walks through a mine field. Every word could possibly offend someone. You know what? It's not right. I won't even get into the stupid specific sugar-coatings that go around because it'd be so much that dA would explode when you opened this page. Words are simply a translation of the mind. Getting rid of the words does not get rid of the ideas, so why bother? Stop trying to control everything.
One day, I got a bit of a sting when I had to pause to think of the right non-offensive word to say. That was when I let go and started talking freely. Have you had your turning point yet?

I've been wanting to make a poster about this subject for a while; I got the idea one day, and decided that it was perhaps the best approach. Like I always say, seemed like a good idea at the time.
I drew the shape in vector and then the specific letters accordingly with the pen tool. Come to think of it......this is perhaps my first 100% vector piece.
After the vector was done, I was ready to add some slogans and different color bars for the title and all. But I quickly grew tired of those and felt they were unnecessary. It started to look more like a book cover than a poster. So I decided to strip everything (as they say, less is more) and leave the vector, the main message, and enough hints to realize that the "politically correct" is about to eat shit.
Lighten up, grow a thicker skin, speak freely, and

IT also reminds me of the movie Demolition Man. You'd get a ticker for every swear word you'd say. Funny.......and I hope (don't think) it doesnt become a reality.
Which words are you thinking of specifically though?
I mean, I support freedom of speech wholeheartedly obviously, however, it's a privilege rather than a right, and with it comes responsibility, I don't think that outwardly cursing a religion, a group of people, or a race should be protected by freedom of speech, to be honest. If people don't have anything constructive to say, then shut the fuck up.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Thats pretty much what speech is: a translation and filter of the mind.

This PC shit is more offending than any free speech imo. I eat foul language for breakfast, with milk and a smile!
