Dear flood of people demanding I take down these pictures:

Most people find that the simplest way to stop seeing their photos on this site is to stop doing racist things.

It really is that simple.

Preach. 

All cultural appropriation aside: YOU ARE AN ARTIST.  We’re not saying that you’re a BAD artist, but that the subjects of your work are tricky.  Once your work enters the public domain, can you really expect everyone to embrace it?  Sure, art can challenge our emotions and preconceptions, but when a stereotype (like the headdress) is grossly glorified by your work, well, there’s not much room for interpretation.

If you post an image on Tumblr, as long as it is attributed to the original post/link/artist in some way (which it is, via a reblog from the artist’s Tumblr), is that not public domain?
