Art Censorship (Final decision)

Artists of all kind receive some sort of criticism, whether it be helpful, admirable or unexpectedly negative. One form of criticism artists are frustrated over is when critics complain of 'showing offensive content." In an artists world, there is no such thing as 'offensive content', because whatever is created on a canvas with paint or a pencil and paper is what we come to call it as self expression. When critics give the red flag on a piece of work written, drawn or otherwise, we the creators become frustrated and at a loss because the way we express feelings or views isn't the same as when someone verbally protests against or for something, it's entirely different. Putting censor bars over great works, 'offensive' or not, is restricting of our rights of freedom of self expression.
