I drew a gem! I’m going to pretend she’s a part of the cluster.

I wonder what @trusufan would do to her. Do your worst.

I would probably get rid of the anti semitic jew star

As I stated I’m going to be sharing older pictures from my files! Why not a babealicious bunny! (Was kinda going for a Jessica rabbit look with this one I think) 

Happy Easter! One day I will finish this sexy bunny babe. 

@steffydoodles 

this one isn’t as bad as your last but it still looks like it came from a 13 year old’s fap folder

the right arm is a third again the length of the left. the torso is of similiar size to the upper legs. the face is the size of the breases the hands are only sslightly larger than her eyes and her waist is narrower than her legs. her arse also looks to be twics her head.

the back isn’t broken however so good job on that.

As i said in my last post i really don’t think this is acceptable quality to be producing when one has an active patreon. Unless you specifically point out that this is a fetish blog. 

She doesn’t look too happy…

there is no easy way to say this but i think you really need to have a serious think about the quality of work you are putting out and whether you can really justify it to your patreons. 

The proportions in this piece are alarming to the point it goes beyond style and into lazy fetish fuel. If that is what you want to do that’s fine but i think your current patreons expect better. 

I realise the tone of this isn’t what one normally expects on tumblr but quite frankly if you cannot accept criticsm maturely you can forget ever becoming a serious artist- again thats a totaly viable choice, but one your patreons should be aware of.

Take a look at this piece again- the breasts are larger than the head, the back is bent almost at a right angle the ass is twice the size of the skull if not larger, the fore arms are grossly asymetrical. the upper thighs are thicker than the waist which in turn is a similar size to the head.her neck is as thin as her wrist.

now some of those might be style but together its a mess. 

come on steffy, pull your socks up. 

or make it clear to your benefactors that their money is going towards distorted fap girls.

Your call.

I’ve always liked this picture but I thought with some simple photoshop could make it better.

thoughts?

-AGREE

@trusufan is the best su blog

@fluffykreme GIMP 2, a sense of humour and very lax IP laws when one publishes on Social Media

-Your stupidity if you think that editing without the original artists premission is ok

-your lack of morality

Why are you ‘’’’’’’fixing’’’’’’’ when there is nothing to fix

Why are you making them ‘’’’’’’’’’more beautiful’’’’’’’’’’ when they already are beutiful as they are originally

This is how they wanted them to look

Why are you changing the colours on them?

Its an unecesseary thing to do

Let the original art be as it is

And make your own

And could you please explain to me ‘’a sense of humour’’?

I don’t find any of this funny.

Trusufan

editing without permission is just the same as remixing popular music. there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

morals are relative, plz stop tone policing it is very ableist.

I am changing the colors to balance out underrepresentation in the fandom and show and because it fits my artistic vision and helps make the characters more trustworthy and better rolemodels for children.

If I explained the joke it would ruin it.

.

Still its not that hard to click few times and fucking ask if its ok

It took the artist years to get to the point where they are and you just come and change the whole fuckin drawing for your pleasure and ‘’artistic vision’’

Most of the artist disagree with you doing this

fuckin take a pen/pencil and draw yours

‘’morals are relative, plz stop tone policing it is very ableist.’’ What the fuck.

More trustworthy**? A better rolemodels for children?

You can’t be fucking serious at this point

Erasing diferently coloured characters and making them white is fuckin Rasist.

Are you telling me that the trustworthy of a person is based on their skin colour?

That they are not good for children?

Are you ok in your head?

Cuz you gotta be crazy to think that.

And you actually don’t need to explain the joke

because the only joke here 

is you

nothing else here is more funy than how much you are trying to make your bullshit sound right and ok

but its not

its not ok

you are just another racist piece of ass

So be that kind

and stop

trusufan

I don’t need to ask though I am well within my rights to just use the art as a base and improve it.

I do awknowledge that I have a long way to go- many characters are fat and thus not good rolemodels I hope to start changing this even if it means spending longer on my edits.

I don’t dispute that it takes more talent to draw- its like music- the origional artist composes whereas i, the DJ, make it into a sick beat people will actually like.

All I am doing is making the gems fit with the demographics of my country (95% white) so they are more relateable and fit closer with our culture, there is nothing wrong with that. Using them as is would be cultural appropriation.

please stop trying to censor my art because u do not like it. It is very oppresive.

‘’You don’t need to ask’’- Fuck you.

They ARE good rolemodels!

The look great as they are!

Many people are chubby or fat too 

and its awesome that they still love themselfes

for who they are

and same goes with characters

They don’t need any of your ‘’fixing’’

They already are perfect as who they are.

This is not music we are talking about.

And many people actually I think even MORE people likes the original more than a ‘’sick beat’’

The originality of the thing is amazing

- Drawing is not about having talent

Its hard work and it takes years to get artist to the point they are now

You can find stuff like- ‘how to draw hand’ or ‘How to draw body’ and more on google and learn

You gotta start drawing first.

Don’t steal others art and change it for your pleasure.

Demographics of your country

well if you havent realized yet but the World is not only your country

There are different people from different countries with different culture

and they want it to fit their culture

or they just love it the way they drew it

and they want it to be this way

so please don’t change that

oppressive***

Thats not that I don’t like it

we all don’t like it.

The original artists

They said you to stop

But you continue anyway

Even when you know you are offending many people

but you still continue

and they dissagree with this.

But it looks like you don’t really care…right?

so now tell me

Who is oppressive?

trusufan

trusufan

are you going to respond?

sure sorry, was doing other things.

Most of what you posted in relation to art is purely subjective opinion that I disagree with. The bottom line is I am entitled to take art change it and republish it as much as I like, and your opinion on whether I should or not has no bearing on my right to do so. 

It doesn’t matter that you don’t like it, it doesn’t matter that the original artist doesn’t like it.t doesn’t matter that you think I’m shit for publishing it- Those are all just opinions as to the quality of the content of the art. 

What does matter is you trying to coerce me into removing my art, this is censorship pure and simple, if you don’t like my art you can just ignore it, block and move on. Instead you are pro actively trying to remove it and shut down my creative vision as it does not sit with your worldview. 

In regards to your point about culture, other people can have gemsona’s as they like, I in no way stop them- the originals are all still there.  In my culture they would be white if they were representative. You attempting to browbeat me into abandoning it due to the subjective opinion of a foreign culture is the definition of imperialism and you should be ashamed.

YOUR ART? EXUSE ME? Tell me whats yours on that art. That you reposted that with different colour of skin and/or hair and you claim it as YOUR ART? You are literaly stealing artwork from people you edit it And claim it as YOUR ART? What the fuck. That you are creative is nice But instead of taking others art Cant you draw your own? That you practically dont give a shit about the original artist oponion is pretty heartless btw I know one of those artists and they were REALLY disappointed when they found out that this happend to their art (+ one thing that happend today to them….) Actually The pic is in this post And you have absolutely no right to manipulate/edit their art You dont owe it Its their. the only one who should be ashamed here is you for doing this to people. And running away from the topic and trying to make me look like a bad person is useless and coward move. Cuz everybody already know that Im an asshole. trusufan

i’ve already explained this to you: its like when a dj remixes a song- he then owns the remix. This has gone through the courts many times in many countries.

I’m not claiming the original but the improved versions are mine. 

again this is just subjective opinion that you don’t like my art’s content or method.

I’m sorry that the original artist did not appreciate my improvement, but I’m not removing it. 

There is no way to help you with this mindset. I don’t understand why instead of drawing your own You have to take someones drawing. Is it too hard to lift up a pen and draw? Please stop comparing this to music, it has nothing to do with it. You are just trying to find a way to make yourself sound right. You just steal something, change colours on it and the final version of it claim as yours. Thats not how art(drawing) works. Make your own. Make your art special by being original Make your own characters. Im sure people will like it Sience you said that you are creative, right? (I dont get why are you repeating that thing with “subjective oponion” sience all our oponions are subjective..) Could you try to draw something? trusufan

maybe its not how you think ‘art’ works but it is how ownership of art is determined. no distinction is made between digital art and music. The analogy of a remix works perfectly.

I could attempt drawing, but I choose not too. I’m perfectly happy with the results of my improvements, there is no need to spend extra time doodling.

@trusufan

Hey. LISTEN UP. You are not fucking ‘improving’ my art by whitewashing it. Your opinions are clearly screwed up, so stop shitting all over this community’s beautiful art. None of it is yours. I do NOT want your edits. If you continue to change users’ art without their permission, I guarantee I will do everything in my power to REMOVE you from this site. Please take down your distasteful edit of my original character. She has very dark skin and is meant to represent a darker-skinned demographic. If you don’t like that, so be it, but stay the fuck away from my art.

No i think my edit is much nicer. Now you could take her home to meet ur parents. If you could please take down ur blackface version as it is offensive and cheapens my art.

trusufan So you’re claiming that /they/( gem-power ) stole /your/ art and design? When they made the art in the first place… And how is it blackface (which is racist you hag) and offensive when the character had dark skin in the first place… That you whitewashed??? That does not make any sense. Have you seen the actual show?? Have you seen Garnet? Amethyst? Have you seen Sardonyx? They have dark skin!!! And it reflects the color of their GEM! BECAUSE THEY ARE GEMS! THEY ARE NOT HUMAN! PEARL IS PALE BECAUSE HER GEM IS PALE! SHE COULD EASILY BE A BLACK PEARL!!! Holy shit you are one racist, homophobic bitch. Do you realize how important this show is to little kids and DIVERSITY it has? You want a show with all white people? Go watch fucking Fox News.

Are you gonna reply trusufan?

Sorry im on holiday atm (hence the lack of new edits) i’ll be back producing new art and answeing the questions people have on 21/09/15. If you look thru my posts i have actually already answered most of the points raised above. Thank you for your patience and i look forward to producing more content in a few weeks time In brief then: if they are gems not races how can there be diversity? If the show is so important to children then why is there so much porn of it on tumblr (and other sites). Why is diversity a good thing? Black people commit vastly more crime and rape than whites per head if pop,they are also more likely to take drugs and abuse or abanfon their families. Black culture is something to be shunned and replaced by more civilized culture not cekebrated under a faux banner of ‘diversity’. In any case white people are underrepresented in su, i am correcting tbat balance and ensuring the fandons quest fir diversity does not exclude children of white heritage.

I have two questions. Two specific questions, that require no answers but yes or no. If ands or buts are not tolerable answers. My questions are: Is the public reaping any direct benefits from your doings? Yes or no. If yes, explain.

My second question is this: Are you Creating parody in a humorous way or fashion? If yes, explain.

1). yes it and the reactions bring much needed diversity and amusement to the fandom as clearly evidenced by my rising follower count.

2). yes- humour is entirely subjective and my rising follower account is clear evidence that i am not alone in my taste.

I am sorry that you feel the need to attempt to browbeat and censor opinions and views that don’t match your own. I hope as you age you become more tolerant.

Okay, you should know that people follow you for the pure reason of wanting to keep up with your almost daily bullshit. Like I did. Secondly, the “reactions” to your edits have been purely negative, causing no positive output, and no public (the Tumblr comunity) benefits. That’s in direct violation of the rule you’ve been clearly abusing since you started this. If you want to laugh at offending people, go back to websites like 4chan and reddit. We don’t want you here.

I have actually received numerous private messages of support and appreciation amongst the death threats. People are just afraid to post publically because of the bullying culture on tumblr that enables people like you to feel justified in browbeating, insulting and attempting to censor anything you disagree with politically.

Many of my posts also receive likes

I find your notion that i should be expelled for disagreeing with you deeply troubling- first they came for the communists etc

This tumblr account, @trusufan , for all of you unaware, has been modifying someone else’s fanart of Steven Universe to their liking. This is not what I am mad about.

The artwork that the original user was posting was black, as in dark colored characters of Steven Universe, and this user has been taking these, even after the original creator told them they did not agree with it, and turning the characters white, saying ‘to represent my white followers’ Now that you know that, know that I am latino, black, and white. My sisters and brothers vary from light to dark brown. Whenever I see or hear about racial issues I just think… Wtf

1. Trusufan, if you want to represent the ‘white community’ make your own artwork.

2. Who really needs more representation here? The main character of the show is white.

3. Why does everything have to be about race? I could connect and see myself in a character based on their actual character. Not on how they appear.

4. The show also encourages gay kids growing up, despite what you think. It shows them its OK to be different.

5. You are racist, and bigoted. And very stupid. I don’t know how you think you operate for the good of anybody. A disgrace to the human race.

6.Stfu

1. why? it is quicker to parody others.

2. 1 character is not representative of % of pop. It is just tokenism.

3. If race is irrelevent why do you care if they are all white?

4. This is your opinion. The bible is very clear it is wrong.

5. Those are very ableist statements- it isn’t me who sent abuse to a stranger.

6. personal abuse because you disagree with my opinions? you are an abuser.

Attention fellow followers and friends!!!!

Recently, I came across a account called @trusufan thats been stealing art or not asking permission from the artist to make a “parody” of the artwork. Mostly, this person takes Steven Universe gemsonas from the original artist and replaces it with white wash and homophobic text, placing bible verses on the art such as “no sleeping with a person of the same sex” kind of deal. This is truly disgusting and basically illegal. Going on this person’s blog, you’ll see a lot of gemsonas or something related to Steven Universe and starts white washing the characters and placing homophobic text from the bible. This person takes pride of stealing SU artwork and changes them, which is so, so, so disgusting. Please reblog to warn others that might draw gemsonas, or anything!!!

‘This is truly disgusting and basically illegal.’

ie not illegal and perfectly covered by parody laws.    

Without permission from the artist to redraw the fanart or artwork, it kinda is.

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.[3]

there is the law, nowhere does it mention needing permission and i quite easily meet the other criteria. 

I’m actually glad you pulled that little trick. the thing is, someone that had work hard (or not!!) on their art make it their own. Unless they have someone that gave their full permission or had mention that their character or subject is free to use. Like a show, such as Steven Universe or any cartoon network shows or anything, they are free to the public, to make fanart and use for other parodies. Taking someone’s art without permission can lead to an illegal term, which can be sued if the person believe that’s what they want.

and recoloring it, it makes it wrong to do. In other post, you made Garnet from a panel from its show, well… whitewashed. Garnet is more preferred to be dark skinned (because her gem and such). Amethyst is the same, and Pearl is pale, all because of their gem. When someone wanted to make a human alternate universe, they can do as they please, because it is not canon or proven true. Their creation belongs to them, but it does not mean it is perfectly fine to take the art and ‘improve’ it.

That’s another thing. Why improve it when someone was happy with it in the first place? It’s like someone gets a gold ring but you switch it out for a copper ring. They can be disappointed. Sure, artist takes challenges to see how well they can improve; maybe their shading, or anatomy, or simply drawing! It’s better to give artists tips and suggestions. Not to take them. Drawing your own art is perfectly fine, no matter how good or bad you are.

are you retarded? That isn’t a trick that is the law of fair use- show me where it says i need someone’s permission. 

the same rules that make it ok to draw fanart of copyrighted characters makes it ok for me to parody fanart- espcially if its for a political or satirical point like changing the race or moral overtones.

If i want to give my vision of a character fan made or not i am absolutely entitled to do so i have never claimed it is canon, i am not that autistic. The fact that you think they shouldnt be white and are trying to force your view on me is racist, oppressive and imperialist. garnet gems can be white although this is rare. the most common colour is red not the pinkish colour she is in the show so that punts that nonsense out the window.

I improved it because i was not happy with it- what other reason do i need? they still have their copy and if they disagree with me as to which is better why should that be a problem?

But why change it? Why improve it truely? what point is there if the person who made it love it the way it is, no copy and no improvement. thats why there’s a thing called OPINIONS. everyone has one, but it doesn’t mean change it entirely. like i don’t understand.

Yeah and I’m expressing my opinion. I’m not stopping other people from having their darkie versions. It is only you who is trying to stifle difference of opinion.

I’m not doing it for the other person I’m doing it for me, my followers and white children everywhere who deserve representation.

im- okay, white children? really? why not… children? you know, generally. I mean white children are great, dont get me wrong. but im not changing the subject

and im not doing it for me and my pleasure to lecture you on the wrongs you did. it’s simply not okay taking art. i can tell from the other artists they didnt like the actions you pulled. just saying.

you are not lecturing me- you are browbeating. there is absolutely 0 legal standing in any of your arguments and you are just trying to force me to align with your own subjective morality. please stop trying to oppress me.

i presume white children will relate more with whitened SU than black ones. Of course now you say it it is naturall that people of all colours would look to whites as being an example of greater beauty and higher aspiration.

@fluffykreme GIMP 2, a sense of humour and very lax IP laws when one publishes on Social Media

-Your stupidity if you think that editing without the original artists premission is ok

-your lack of morality

Why are you ‘’’’’’’fixing’’’’’’’ when there is nothing to fix

Why are you making them ‘’’’’’’’’’more beautiful’’’’’’’’’’ when they already are beutiful as they are originally

This is how they wanted them to look

Why are you changing the colours on them?

Its an unecesseary thing to do

Let the original art be as it is

And make your own

And could you please explain to me ‘’a sense of humour’’?

I don’t find any of this funny.

Trusufan

editing without permission is just the same as remixing popular music. there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

morals are relative, plz stop tone policing it is very ableist.

I am changing the colors to balance out underrepresentation in the fandom and show and because it fits my artistic vision and helps make the characters more trustworthy and better rolemodels for children.

If I explained the joke it would ruin it.

.

Still its not that hard to click few times and fucking ask if its ok

It took the artist years to get to the point where they are and you just come and change the whole fuckin drawing for your pleasure and ‘’artistic vision’’

Most of the artist disagree with you doing this

fuckin take a pen/pencil and draw yours

‘’morals are relative, plz stop tone policing it is very ableist.’’ What the fuck.

More trustworthy**? A better rolemodels for children?

You can’t be fucking serious at this point

Erasing diferently coloured characters and making them white is fuckin Rasist.

Are you telling me that the trustworthy of a person is based on their skin colour?

That they are not good for children?

Are you ok in your head?

Cuz you gotta be crazy to think that.

And you actually don’t need to explain the joke

because the only joke here 

is you

nothing else here is more funy than how much you are trying to make your bullshit sound right and ok

but its not

its not ok

you are just another racist piece of ass

So be that kind

and stop

trusufan

I don’t need to ask though I am well within my rights to just use the art as a base and improve it.

I do awknowledge that I have a long way to go- many characters are fat and thus not good rolemodels I hope to start changing this even if it means spending longer on my edits.

I don’t dispute that it takes more talent to draw- its like music- the origional artist composes whereas i, the DJ, make it into a sick beat people will actually like.

All I am doing is making the gems fit with the demographics of my country (95% white) so they are more relateable and fit closer with our culture, there is nothing wrong with that. Using them as is would be cultural appropriation.

please stop trying to censor my art because u do not like it. It is very oppresive.

‘’You don’t need to ask’’- Fuck you.

They ARE good rolemodels!

The look great as they are!

Many people are chubby or fat too 

and its awesome that they still love themselfes

for who they are

and same goes with characters

They don’t need any of your ‘’fixing’’

They already are perfect as who they are.

This is not music we are talking about.

And many people actually I think even MORE people likes the original more than a ‘’sick beat’’

The originality of the thing is amazing

- Drawing is not about having talent

Its hard work and it takes years to get artist to the point they are now

You can find stuff like- ‘how to draw hand’ or ‘How to draw body’ and more on google and learn

You gotta start drawing first.

Don’t steal others art and change it for your pleasure.

Demographics of your country

well if you havent realized yet but the World is not only your country

There are different people from different countries with different culture

and they want it to fit their culture

or they just love it the way they drew it

and they want it to be this way

so please don’t change that

oppressive***

Thats not that I don’t like it

we all don’t like it.

The original artists

They said you to stop

But you continue anyway

Even when you know you are offending many people

but you still continue

and they dissagree with this.

But it looks like you don’t really care…right?

so now tell me

Who is oppressive?

trusufan

trusufan

are you going to respond?

sure sorry, was doing other things.

Most of what you posted in relation to art is purely subjective opinion that I disagree with. The bottom line is I am entitled to take art change it and republish it as much as I like, and your opinion on whether I should or not has no bearing on my right to do so. 

It doesn’t matter that you don’t like it, it doesn’t matter that the original artist doesn’t like it.t doesn’t matter that you think I’m shit for publishing it- Those are all just opinions as to the quality of the content of the art. 

What does matter is you trying to coerce me into removing my art, this is censorship pure and simple, if you don’t like my art you can just ignore it, block and move on. Instead you are pro actively trying to remove it and shut down my creative vision as it does not sit with your worldview. 

In regards to your point about culture, other people can have gemsona’s as they like, I in no way stop them- the originals are all still there.  In my culture they would be white if they were representative. You attempting to browbeat me into abandoning it due to the subjective opinion of a foreign culture is the definition of imperialism and you should be ashamed.

YOUR ART? EXUSE ME? Tell me whats yours on that art. That you reposted that with different colour of skin and/or hair and you claim it as YOUR ART? You are literaly stealing artwork from people you edit it And claim it as YOUR ART? What the fuck. That you are creative is nice But instead of taking others art Cant you draw your own? That you practically dont give a shit about the original artist oponion is pretty heartless btw I know one of those artists and they were REALLY disappointed when they found out that this happend to their art (+ one thing that happend today to them….) Actually The pic is in this post And you have absolutely no right to manipulate/edit their art You dont owe it Its their. the only one who should be ashamed here is you for doing this to people. And running away from the topic and trying to make me look like a bad person is useless and coward move. Cuz everybody already know that Im an asshole. trusufan

i’ve already explained this to you: its like when a dj remixes a song- he then owns the remix. This has gone through the courts many times in many countries.

I’m not claiming the original but the improved versions are mine. 

again this is just subjective opinion that you don’t like my art’s content or method.

I’m sorry that the original artist did not appreciate my improvement, but I’m not removing it. 

There is no way to help you with this mindset. I don’t understand why instead of drawing your own You have to take someones drawing. Is it too hard to lift up a pen and draw? Please stop comparing this to music, it has nothing to do with it. You are just trying to find a way to make yourself sound right. You just steal something, change colours on it and the final version of it claim as yours. Thats not how art(drawing) works. Make your own. Make your art special by being original Make your own characters. Im sure people will like it Sience you said that you are creative, right? (I dont get why are you repeating that thing with “subjective oponion” sience all our oponions are subjective..) Could you try to draw something? trusufan

maybe its not how you think ‘art’ works but it is how ownership of art is determined. no distinction is made between digital art and music. The analogy of a remix works perfectly.

I could attempt drawing, but I choose not too. I’m perfectly happy with the results of my improvements, there is no need to spend extra time doodling.

@trusufan

Hey. LISTEN UP. You are not fucking ‘improving’ my art by whitewashing it. Your opinions are clearly screwed up, so stop shitting all over this community’s beautiful art. None of it is yours. I do NOT want your edits. If you continue to change users’ art without their permission, I guarantee I will do everything in my power to REMOVE you from this site. Please take down your distasteful edit of my original character. She has very dark skin and is meant to represent a darker-skinned demographic. If you don’t like that, so be it, but stay the fuck away from my art.

No i think my edit is much nicer. Now you could take her home to meet ur parents. If you could please take down ur blackface version as it is offensive and cheapens my art.

trusufan So you’re claiming that /they/( gem-power ) stole /your/ art and design? When they made the art in the first place… And how is it blackface (which is racist you hag) and offensive when the character had dark skin in the first place… That you whitewashed??? That does not make any sense. Have you seen the actual show?? Have you seen Garnet? Amethyst? Have you seen Sardonyx? They have dark skin!!! And it reflects the color of their GEM! BECAUSE THEY ARE GEMS! THEY ARE NOT HUMAN! PEARL IS PALE BECAUSE HER GEM IS PALE! SHE COULD EASILY BE A BLACK PEARL!!! Holy shit you are one racist, homophobic bitch. Do you realize how important this show is to little kids and DIVERSITY it has? You want a show with all white people? Go watch fucking Fox News.

Are you gonna reply trusufan?

Sorry im on holiday atm (hence the lack of new edits) i’ll be back producing new art and answeing the questions people have on 21/09/15. If you look thru my posts i have actually already answered most of the points raised above. Thank you for your patience and i look forward to producing more content in a few weeks time In brief then: if they are gems not races how can there be diversity? If the show is so important to children then why is there so much porn of it on tumblr (and other sites). Why is diversity a good thing? Black people commit vastly more crime and rape than whites per head if pop,they are also more likely to take drugs and abuse or abanfon their families. Black culture is something to be shunned and replaced by more civilized culture not cekebrated under a faux banner of ‘diversity’. In any case white people are underrepresented in su, i am correcting tbat balance and ensuring the fandons quest fir diversity does not exclude children of white heritage.

I have two questions. Two specific questions, that require no answers but yes or no. If ands or buts are not tolerable answers. My questions are: Is the public reaping any direct benefits from your doings? Yes or no. If yes, explain.

My second question is this: Are you Creating parody in a humorous way or fashion? If yes, explain.

1). yes it and the reactions bring much needed diversity and amusement to the fandom as clearly evidenced by my rising follower count.

2). yes- humour is entirely subjective and my rising follower account is clear evidence that i am not alone in my taste.

I am sorry that you feel the need to attempt to browbeat and censor opinions and views that don’t match your own. I hope as you age you become more tolerant.

Attention fellow followers and friends!!!!

Recently, I came across a account called @trusufan thats been stealing art or not asking permission from the artist to make a “parody” of the artwork. Mostly, this person takes Steven Universe gemsonas from the original artist and replaces it with white wash and homophobic text, placing bible verses on the art such as “no sleeping with a person of the same sex” kind of deal. This is truly disgusting and basically illegal. Going on this person’s blog, you’ll see a lot of gemsonas or something related to Steven Universe and starts white washing the characters and placing homophobic text from the bible. This person takes pride of stealing SU artwork and changes them, which is so, so, so disgusting. Please reblog to warn others that might draw gemsonas, or anything!!!

‘This is truly disgusting and basically illegal.’

ie not illegal and perfectly covered by parody laws.    

some cute su art!

you realize this is … completely and utterly homophobic

How is it? I don’t understand.

literally .. the quote says that sleeping with a man (homosexuality) is an abomination. this quote is one reason the christian south hates gays.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t true?

One, your not a real christian if you wish death upon others. Yes the bible does say it is an abomination, but guess what? God doesn’t prioritize one sin over the other. You shouldn’t either. Why? Because you sin, I sin, we all sin. Yes that’s right, we ALL sin. That’s just human nature, we all sooner or later fall short in the glory of god. So this means that we are all equal. Gay, straight, black, white, christian, atheist, we are all the same. regardless what sin we’ve committed. This means, you treat gays with the same amount of respect as you would with your preacher, parents, or anyone that has more authority over you. You may not agree, but that shouldn’t mean you should think of yourself as higher then the two men holding hands across the street. You can have your opinion to disagree with them, your allowed to do that. What your not allowed to do is throw the bible in there face, treat them like scum, and think about how better you are then them because you believe in the lord your god.

Second. You literally made a black lesbian character (technically, she’s made up of lesbians) white, blonde and say a bible verse you knew would provoke people. So I only have a few questions to ask you: Why must you waste your precious time on this? Why are ruining peoples artwork? Why are editing other peoples art instead of making your own? Why aren’t you making your own? Why can’t you learn how to draw? And if you do know how, why don’t you? Why aren’t you making your own original su gemsonas that are white with blond hair? Why aren’t you making white blonde characters in general? Why can’t you turn this into a positive thing? Why can’t you make white blond cis gendered characters and show it as positive? Why not make something out of yourself instead of doing this? And finally: Would god approve of your actions? I’m not going to waste even more time telling you what others have told you about your account, so here’s something new. You’ve been reported more then a few hundred times. Tumblr will eventually get you your account and terminate it. When that happens, hopefully you’ll turn yourself around and do something positive with white blond girls. You’re account gives them a bad image, you are better then this.

No we’re commanded directly to stone adulterous deviants and that includes gays. I like my art and think it promotes an important message and vastly improves on the look of the characters. Being a black lesbian is a terrible role model for children.

Hello sir/ma'am. I have some enlightening to do to you it would seem. So you know the old testament? The one that preaches about gays and seafood and not wearing clothes of two different materials? Yeah, that’s the one. Anyways, you do know that the old testament was explicitly a form of rules that was put in place until the coming of Christ, right? After the birth of Jesus, the old testament was disbanded and the new testament was put in the place of it, effectively canceling any old testament laws. Including the laws of “man shalt not lie with man”. You can look all of this up. Its completely true, and people seem to forget about it all the time. So please, stopping shitting on the tablecloth of humanity for once, and actually help.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

There are numerous other verses in the NT which condemn homosexuality and make it clear that while the ceremonial law of the OT ended with Christ the moral law remains. Any pastor who told you otherwise is going against the direct teachings of Christ and the apostles.

Recently, @laurenjscherm, had her gemsona defaced by @trusufan, and like I said I would, I redrew her gemsona, while I highly doubt it’s the best, it’s better than @trusufan‘s edition.

I hope you like it!

Why did u caricaturise an Asian as looking like an alien? the slanty eyes and bulbous head is a gross dehumanising stereotype.

Checkmate.

Hello, in case you didn’t know, SU fans, there has been someone in the fandom known as @trusufan, who is censoring artists oc’s, by putting up bible verses if a character is on the LGBTQA+ spectrum, and whitewashing characters,

I will be drawing all the OC’s that they censored and destroyed, and draw them in their original glory, or at least as well as I can draw them.

Anyone care to join me?

I start tomorrow.

I post quotes from the Koran too so please check that. I haven't destroyed anything just provided a fresh and stimulating new angle on SU. I hope your own work is aswell received and free from racist tokenism
