Every Link in this Post is NSFW!

But they shouldn’t be.

I was over at Lectric Lich’s corner of GayGamer.net, and saw there was much ado about a picture of a sword:

There's only one problem... The picture of Blackrazor... well... it kind of looked like a... um... well, the kids online are calling it a vajayjay (whatever that is). Ahem… in two different ways.

You can see the pic in question here.

Um, no. No it doesn’t. And if any part of your girlfriend’s anatomy is metallic, spikey, and sports a bizarre, orange catlike eye, dude, you’ve got problems.

Seriously, if you’re the sort of person who gets bent out of shape about pictures like this, let me tell you, this is *exactly* why you don’t get invited to the cool parties. This stuff really gets into my craw. It’s juvenile, it’s stupid, and it gets people tiptoeing around each other on eggshells. Grow up!

It’s this sort of thinking that makes pictures like this NSFW. This may be the most thematically beautiful piece I’ve ever seen by Fredrik K.T. Andersson. It’s sweet, it’s expressive, and it celebrates some of the most important things in life: the wonders of childhood, the joys of motherhood, the bonds of family, the importance of taking time to simply enjoy being alive, and the power of simple exploration and curiosity. That some people will undoubtedly find it offensive explains a lot about why the world is as screwed up as it is.

And it wouldn't at all surprise me to find that many of those same folks would be offended by the mere existence of a site called GayGamer.net, or, at the very least, find it "problematic".

Eventually, everyone must undergo their own Copernican Revolution, and realize that the world does not revolve around them. Everything is not about you. Everything does not reflect back on you. Nor does it reflect upon everyone else. We are all responsible for our own works, and little else, either for credit or condemnation.

And seriously, go kiss a girl. It won't be the end, or the beginning, of your life.
