You support shadman?
I dont really approve of what he draws but everything ive heard from everyone close to him via Chris (oney), Zach (psychicpebbles), Niall ( cryburger) and that whole side of the internet that he's friends with/has lived with and honestly he sounds like a very nice dude who is just doing what he does for shock purposes. Granted I dont know him personally so my opinion is based off what ive been seeing him make for the past 6+ years now, what he talks about in his streams (as well as those i mentioned above in their streams and when they tweet on the issues). I do see what posted about him via twitter but it does seem like in the past year the hate for him has exploded (i mean theres always been hate but its just more public and posted about this year it seems). It does seem like a lot of what he does is because of the demographic that follows him on top of shock value (which is clearly why he does what he does, hes been very public that he is not into or aroused by what he draws, and is doing it for shock vaule because thats how he gets attention to his work. And it clearly works!)I dont approve of the more borderline work for what he draws, but he's been doing it for years and isnt going to stop and all the hate he gets is just more attention for his art (which is really what he wants). And as far as i know no legal action can be taken against him (unless it was directly related to you) for artwork dipicting those apearing under 18 because its not a "real" minor (and is considered art the same way rape, murder, etc. Can be done in movies, shows, etc. As it can be claimed as "artistic rights") which he knows this very well and why he continues to do it.So for tl;drShadman over all seems like an okay individual based on his irl friends and roommates and he draws what he does for shock factor. And until laws change he cant legally get in trouble for what he does dipicting not real peoples younger than 18. (I know he has drawn art of real people under those ages and the people involved have handled it so im not talking about those.) Granted i dont know him in person and he could probably be a shit human being but im not basing my opinion of my artist on their art (as i wouldn't do with any artists that draws a lot of body horror, murder, rape, etc. Since theres always movements about how what the artists draws/writes/etc. Doesn't equal their personal views).Granted i also welcome you to change my mind (even tho to me he's just a dude thats friends with a lot of other people i enjoy on the internet and does what he does for shock value.) And im not a pedophile nor a sympathizer (which is crazy that this day in age I'd have to say that?)
