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.

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!
