spikefield creature: "choose wisely: thinkpad or a cursed book?" a thinkpad with two bullet marks and a cursed book in front of him. "thinkpad was in a mint condition - only two bulletmarks, which rarely happens these days... and a sticker that arguably increases the value of the article due to the cultural signigicance (sticker with debian logo and text 'lesbian'), even the proce was fair - free. I almost took the thinkpad, but the way he said 'a cursed book' made me reconsider, in the end I took the book - because I could read."

Thank you! I do like the dithering, colors, radical layout, a likely manual font, and overall pace of the great, priceless work...

Regarding the "value" mentioned, indeed... I am sorry, and I would also send a link to some friends I know, who love pixel-art, Debian, and ThinkPads, some of them have multiple models of IBM logo era, but that "sticker" is what will cause them upset, I believe. They would consider it an instant "propaganda" for "childless, infertile, and disgust" and that "redundancy" would "devalue" the whole work for them, it feels like...

Meanwhile, may I ask, what is the actual book? It seems as something about "radiation" or "radiolocation" etc. "operation... manual"...

    I am sorry... In this case, I come from military and engineering fields, and these are quite genius people in field operations, hardware, programming, security, and the most have children, and that's probably why...

    They just believe those who are into these "minorities" are eventually left without children, and leave their parents without grandchildren, their whole family root stops, permanently... And the most would start discussing how damaging that propaganda is to decrease the birth rate... and would focus on that instead of the actual artwork...

    In other words, I just expressed the thought I had regarding the presence of a "sticker for a value" that does indeed affect the auditory much. The lack of it would probably allow the work to be expressed in more environments and lives of people out there, in more safe manner, but its up to the talented and quite genius artist! ✨

    I am really enjoying this. The art, the content, your responses. Please, go on. When I get paid I will spot you some melatonin.

    Fur people asking for changes, art makes people feel things. They might not like what they feel, and it could be disruptive to their lifestyle. Good.

    thank you, this may get me a new mouse, because the one I'm using for drawing is quite broken, left button only works if you click it really hard which made me squeeze one of its eyeballs out by accident.

    Have you considered a supportive device for the works or conceptual ideas, like a general tablet (e.g. a great one I had a chance to use for drawings was Xiaomi Pro 7 with its official stylus and case with trackpad), or an actual drawing tablet like Wacom, the vendor (e.g. Wacom One new version)?
    These supported me in addition to the always ineffably magnificent and charming wooden pencils and oil, too!

    ... and you don't see this as a form of pro-birth propaganda?

    Animals with no language have gay couples. It's a naturally occurring phenomenon. Acknowledging their existince at all is not a form of propaganda.

    Those are what we call Nazis. They're pathetic weirdo losers and caring about their delicate manchild sensibilities is extremely suspect.

    No, I would never call them the ineffably sorrowfull and historically awfull term you chose, and I do ask you to not, too.

    These people protected, saved lives of non-binary people, and served them multiple times. And not to mention non-recorded cases, that inherit and supported other numerous people they rescued, saved, and served.

    Please do consider people in military forces who put their lives back to back in the fields, and face the true agony, hate, and sorrow.

    The ones you describe sure sound like Nazis to me! And given your overt defense of their literal fascist rhetoric and homophobia, you don't sound any better.

    That's what we call being a collaborator.

    I see, thank you for confirming your true intentions...
    Sorry, but you won't receive any response from my end from this point.
    Regardless, please do stay safe!
