People should write (draw/create) whatever the hell they want, but they should also accept the negative reactions their work might bring (assuming these reactions aren't violent).
I figure if you are an "artist" you make the things you make because you want to make them, not because you think the world might benefit from it. That to me has always been secondary when I made anything.
I mean it's a weird thing, because I don't want to create something just to release it into a vacuum. But I know at the same time thats what I'll have to do cause I can have 99 good reviews and just that one negative will fuck shit up.
God forbid 99 Negative reviews. I'll have figurative Gun in my mouth.
99 Negative? Why not? Get out of your comfort zone and write something you expect to have negative feed back. Who knows? Maybe you'll get nominated for the Hugo Awards next year.
Out of joke, the point is loads of negative feedback isn't the end of the world.
OT: It depends on the reason it's trying to be offensive/sexist. Is it harnessing the power of offence for good or for evil?
