Description
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 was meant to
It kinda works better as a piece of print that you look at ocassionally. At first, you dont necessarily get it until one day it just clicks

It took me a long time to figure out what this was. Yes I got the words and it is a wonderful concept, but the shape seemed completely abstract to me until I read your coment and looked again.
I don't like sugar coating things either, I like to speak my mind. I would totally wear this on a shirt f you ever made it into one and i had the money. Good job!

Yea, it's one of those things that you realize after a while of looking at it; you kinda start seeing letters and then it's "oooh look!"

The real problem with political correctness is that someone, somewhere will be offended by what I say. So unless a person physically comes up to me and says "This offended me and here's why" I'm not going to apologize. And I'm defiantly not going to change my point of view.
And now something to think about. Political correctness was originally called 'cultural terrorism' and designed to destroy freedoms by convincing people their freedoms caused more harm than good.

I agree with you.
I recently found a game of politically correct, non violent game of war in a store.
Although I found it very funny and gave to to my dad as a Christmas gift,
it made me sad that the whole "politically correct" issue has gotten so out of hand.
I really love this piece,
and I fully understand your frustration.

kids in primary schools are now forbidden from saying 'black sheep' they have to sing-"baa baa rainbow sheep, have you any wool..."
how ridiculous(forgive my spelling)
i agree with freedom of speech, but if everyone went around calling peole fuck-tards or something, speech would be boring.If swears became the norm, there would be no 'reserved for pure anger' words
^lots of the above statement didn't make sense, try and understand it^

I wonder if they use a blackboard.......or just changed to greenboards to avoid that. But hey.....if they dont want to use blackboards because they're black, then isnt that racist?

I believe a lot of the world's problems could be solved if people learned to shut up and not be so offended over every little thing said. Humility is, and has always been, something lacking in the mind of man.

It's fine. It's fairly rare to see it on the media anyway, although I've been told Reunion Island made an appearance on the BBC channel a while ago — La Fournaise has erupted.
