Tornicade mentioned that the only people allowed to do caricatures are people who share the same race as the subject being drawn.
As numerous posters have recommend, I have finally put Tornicade on ignore at this point... Certain conversations just aren't worth having so I apologize if that makes it difficult to understand what's going on, but I'm not going to engage in what amounts to Holocaust denial.
I just lose respect for a person after a certain point...
So, I was just clarifying that point. Keep caricature artists of different races separate but make sure they remain with equal opportunities.
Yea, that's nonsense, and that's why I've just put him on ignore.
No one is (or should be) talking about banning or restricting people's speech, just as no one should try to use the Wahoo logo as a reactionary cause to revise the Native American history in this country to wash away the sins of this nation against them. Another poster put it perfectly when he said this thread, for a moment, had turned into a "they deserved it" moment.
Lastly, with respect to outrage, there appears to be outrage on both sides of this issue; but the most vitriolic seems to be on the side that wants to keep the logo no matter what.
I also see people in here wanting to turn this into a conversation about "political correctness" which, maybe is a conversation worth having, but seems like whack-a-mole to me...
You're a smart guy, so I'll engage you; but some others here have taken this issue and run with it into some rather dark corners.
