Now, Islam deserves to be criticized just like any religion. But I don’t see a point in drawing Muhammad. Most Muslims aren’t deranged terrorists, so when you do draw him they’re just going to be offended and upset and go on with their daily lives. The only people who will react to your actions in a way that “interests” you will be the ones who are willing to behead you and blow up your home, and even then most Muslims condemn that violence, so you’re really just inviting exclusively extremists to harass you for what - internet points?
So I'm not really shedding a tear over it I mean, Japanese people laughed at and made memes of the Japanese hostages who got executed by ISIS, and no one is offended by that (except the families lol), so dunking on the frenchies is no different. Plus Charlie Hebdo continued to depict Muhammad after the attacks so clearly they're trying to use humor to cope, so by not being an asshole you'd go against the studio's ethos and the artists' legacy.
I didn't remember that, so I'm sorry. But my main paragraph still stands. You know the only ones who will give the reaction you want will be extremists, so you can't be surprised when they commit terrorism. And yes, I am victim blaming here. When people are sexually assaulted it's often unexpected and many times perpetuated by someone you trust. But everyone knows the worse responses to depicting Muhammad will be from terrorists, and it's clear they're not interested in the reactions of the average Muslim giving them the stink eye for offending them. They want something to put on the headlines, and they dragged innocent people into their crusade of :freeze-peach:
This comment has me curious, actually
What's Hexbear's stance on whether the Charlie Hebdo guys deserved to get merked

Exactly this.
Are they islamophobic assholes who shouldn't be supported? Yeah. Do they deserve death for a drawing? No fucking way.
Agreed
my take
