Aha! Gotcha! I knew this whole Trump Russian thing was just a lie and a setup.

Hey DJI, no offense and I honestly don't take a stance on any political matters here, but I feel like regardless of "offtopic" I don't know if this sort of stuff (whether it'd be on one side or another) kinda feels like it doesn't belong here. I don't mean this as going against he flow of things but I just don't see how aggressive politics, scandals feels relevant and suitable on a company software forum, especially when it starts mixing with regular posts over on the recent forum posts.
It's not to say that I'm an authority on it, but it just feels like some of the recent content feels quite inappropriate in such a creative environment/community/company forum like this. In my most honest opinion I'd rather see your cool filters than I see you coming out sounding frustrated or like feeling the need to post stuff like this. I suspect content as such are obvious "triggers" for some folks and I've seen som unproductive discussions arise fr om opposing ideals. It's unfortunate and it's unavoidable. When people get passionate over this, it can seriously topple our collective creative energy, no party wins an internet debate. Again, I don't hold authority here but I really just put my voice down on it. I don't wanna cause drama and I respect your opinions. My only suggestion here is it's best if you can keep yourself or on a appropriate forum that can handle this sort of content. But again, this is just me, I honestly shouldn't worry. But I just don't want to be on a forum wh ere our passionate feelings end up colliding and causing folks not to enjoy the program we come to love. |

First of all, I completely agree with Skybase. This is not for an art forum.
IMHO: The extreme left and the extreme right have been going at it for ever. This is not any different and is very divisive. Buddhist point of view: sit and watch. The drama is not worth it. When anyone is convinced they know the absolute truth, run like hell... Math meets art meets psychedelia. |

Let's put the rules the following way: politics-related art is acceptable if all such images are posted in a single thread. However links to youtube, news aggregators and similar stuff are... not to say 'forbidden' but not recommended.
Putting thread titles in ALL CAPS is forbidden – this is shouting and disrespect to readers. OK? |

I personally consider any posting of political views on these forums to be spam and I think "not recommended" is too mild, because it actually allows it. If I saw politically motivated threads posted by some anonymous user and not a respected and well-liked (by me) member of the community I would report it. There are loads of other places that people can go to in order to discuss politics. I think it is inappropriate to allow this forum to be one of them and ask that you take a more forceful position in preventing it. |

I am sorry DJI, but I totally agree with Skybase, that showing this kind of political scandals, corruption and any other politics related things relevant and is not related in any way with anything related with any artistic or creative things. I am not against you at all, is just that I think this things does not fit here. I love much your filters and artistic creations. |

Heh I'm really stemming fr om an experience I had with controversial material when I was a kid. It just spirals out of control and it starts feeling like somebody's attacking your core beliefs. I remember I had days wh ere I'd be ridden with anxiety just thinking somebody's writing some kind of super critical writing on some controversial posting I made earlier. That was years and years ago. I guess this kinda happens with many who spend some time of their day juggling through the internet.
It's just a fact of life we're all going to be different thinkers and believers. At least what's nice here is that we kinda have a shared love of using FilterForge. ![]() |

Apart from the above text from previous post
Trump in the art you have shown it reminds me of the bad Main general that fights at the end of Avatar movie that will do anything against the Pandora planet and people to be able to get his mission and objective at whatever cost and killing anyone in the middle and think that is a collateral effect Avatar last final battle 0:50 5:10 |

I have to say something of my previous post about the comparison of Trump and Avatar
I wish and hope that Trump can be really a good and great president for USA and for all he world and he can be able to do good things, a d that he is not at all like the one I have commented on Avatar movie, but only time will tell what will happen I am not either republican or democrat, I am with the one that is good and great in what he or she does and makes the workd a better place and helps people live better and help the ones that needs help, and solves the problem in the best possible way |

I believe everyone who wished to express their opinion have already done so. Based one the above:
- From now on discussing politics is forbidden. Links to political articles, videos and other materials will be removed. - The only exception is posting political art in this very thread. New threads will be removed (the forum engine doesn't allow to combine threads or move individual posts in another thread, so removal is the only option). If you are offended by fan art, please simply ignore this thread. - No thread names in all caps. - I renamed this thread to "Political art" – please let me know if you come up with a better name. |
