just pray that not someday publishing pornography makes you a target as well because in that case you obviously asked to be shot
seriously - you don't see a connection here?

i wouldnt necessarily conflate the two. my work does not target a group with an intention of insulting it. theres a nuance there that, IMO, makes it different. I forbid religious symbols in my work, have asked models to take off religious necklaces.
some girl last year, melissa midwest or something, took naked pics in front of a church, posted them on this forum, got arrested. If she got shot, i would say she has some responsibility for antagonizing church nutters.
charlies business was to seek attention with deliberately controversial symbols. he was successful enough to get put on a hitlist made by wackos. You would agree they would be alive today had they not done that, yes?
unless we have some way to exterminate all the wackos on earth, speech will never be free in the ideal that most everyone is espousing. there really is no such thing as free speech as far as im concerned. there is only action, & consequences. perhaps i am somewhat nihilist or amoral on this matter.
