Artists or not, the fact that people are afraid to express themselves freely because of violent repercussions seems to me more serious than what art truly means. I’m not talking about those who look for trouble on purpose by insulting others knowingly, I mean the ones that preemptively censure themselves out of fear that their opinions might offend a bully. A bully who like all bullies is very insecure with their philosophy or values and has to hurt everyone who makes them question themselves.
This fear defeats the purpose of free speech. You can talk about anything but if I don’t like it I might/will slit your throat. Be free!
This is becoming a trend lately from what I have seen. Long live Political correctness…. Not!
