"Free Palestine" is included twice in the Tumblr post's tags.

It is subjective and interpretative tbh, just like art. Some people saw it as political, but the artist didn't intend it that way. That's the context I'm talking about friend.

Sure buddy.
Has to include beloved fiction because neither side can find anything that would work well as propaganda in real life anymore.

This goblins vs half-orcs discussion is so tiresome anyway. Just nuke the whole area. Neither are native to area.

Well, I'm done by giving context so that's not my problem lol. And this isn't the place to discuss that either. I'm posting this here because I like this drawing and saw no one posted it. This isn't the only picture that would upset people here anyway, so I didn't have to back off myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You didn't give any context. In fact, you brushed off the obvious context by claiming the artist somehow didn't intend for "FREE PALESTINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" to be a political statement. But any reasonable person would see how ridiculous that is no matter what side of the issue they're on. Demanding any country to be free is inherently political. I'm sure the artist is smart enough to know how people would interpret that.

There's nothing wrong with liking politically charged art, but don't try to deny the obvious.

Edit: Considering what the artist says in the commentary, I will concede the possibility of the art not originally meant to be about freeing Palestine. We can't say for sure without seeing the original post. But even if it wasn't a political statement before, reposting it on Tumblr with those tags turned it into one.

I didn't see it as inherently political, so thanks for telling me, I guess. I'm just too dumb with politic especially western politics lol. Most people who chanted "Free Palestine" only do it for humanity reason. The artist may add the tag as it is still relatable to the topic. How should I know it isn't subjectively political because the artist said it in the twitter that they are doing it for humanity. They also should have know Cygames don't allow fanarts of Uma that is political, but they still do it anyway (and well aware of the risk but do it anyway for awareness on what happened in Gaza). Btw the artist said that their twitter got mass reported by hater, not by Cygames representative. We don't know how Cygames think, but if you think it's political I'll leave it at that.

I like this art not because I had a certain political stance. But if saying it's objectively political to want a country to be free, so be it.

Reply on the edit: Yeah, I can agree with that

There's no reason for the artist to add the tag unless they were promoting the position, especially in all caps. And why wouldn't it be political to demand freedom for a country? Freedom from whom? There's only one answer to that: Israel. The people saying that believe that Israel is oppressing Palestine. But the other side believes Israel is doing what's necessary to defend themselves. In my country, a right-leaning person is much more likely to be pro-Israel than pro-Palestine.

There are other examples of things that people believe shouldn't be political because they're morally correct. Trans rights? Political. Gay rights? Political. Abolishing slavery and allowing women to vote? Still political. Are these things decent people should believe in? Absolutely. But it doesn't change the fact that they are or were issues that people had to debate, advocate, and fight for.
So yes, even suggesting that Israel is oppressing Palestine is political, even if you believe the correct side is obvious.

And Cygames has no control over what people can draw no matter what they say. They would certainly consider this political, but there's not much they can do about it.

Thats the way they spread propaganda and defend the worst crimes.
