posted 3 months ago by midnitestyle

Hi,
I Had a recent Stamp submission get banned from a t-shirt fulfillment company for being threatening?!! I have the image here on this site (it is for image "Unacceptable Behavior" and I don’t feel it should, especially in a political year when pro-campaign stuff is ok but my art is not.

Anyone feel free to respond/comment....

Thanks,

Scott

    Your art is no less threatening than most of the other stuff on here.

    To clarify I am asking censorship of my image... Is it any more threatening than any of the political stuff flying out there?

    did you not read that letter?

  32. Cole - Cole Blotcky avatar

    Cole said 3 months ago

    its probably because you reproduced a government note.
    why not ask them instead of us?

  33. jimmyheartcore - Jimmy Heartcore avatar

    jimmyheartcore said 3 months ago

    I think it’s because it is going on a stamp, postage for which is issued by the US government.

    Having what looks like blood dripping from it is probably a postage faux pas.

    My bowls are just fine and dandy from lunch. Tell your stomaches to grow a dick.

    Its just zazzle they are dicks. Don’t worry about it.

    Did you read the email you posted? It doesn’t say it was removed for being threatening. They list several reasons it could have been removed, separated by coma’s and with an OR.

    Not saying it deserved to be removed, I don’t see what is wrong with it, but come on. And yes, zazzle? Really?

  41. midnitestyle - Scott Corsaire avatar

    midnitestyle said 3 months ago

    Hi, yes I did read it the email (I’ll never forget it either.)
    It said:
    To be removed and not to be printed for policy violations and "it" in their mind:
    May be considered violent, profane, deceptive, abusive, menacing, harmful, or threatening.
    These pretty much say the same thing...But I do appreciate
    everyone’s input and it helped to see if any others experienced this kind of censorship.

    Thnx again,

    Scott
