Don't force people to change.

Description

Inb4 TL;DR: if you don't like someone's art or you disagree with their views, ignore them. Don't stir up shit with them about how you find their views horrible and try to force them to change their views.

----
Now for a brief story as an example:
I once came across a user complaining to someone on their front page about their Nazi-themed art and their Neo-Nazi views (apparently, the user they were complaining to was a proclaimed Neo-Nazi), telling them how "horrible and disgusting" their views were. I commented to the complaining user, saying that people have different opinions, but you shouldn't bash them like that for having a different opinion, and as long as their views aren't harming you in any way, then you shouldn't be complaining.

They replied with that their entire family would die if Nazi-tactics were reintroduced.

:iconbitchpleaseplz:
First off, it wouldn't be reintroduced, because Hitler was declared batshit-insane by the end of WWII, even by his own Nazi party, and everyone learned from his actions that genocide is horribly inhumane. So the chances of another genocide like the Holocaust is low...Besides, Nazi-Germany didn't go after only the Jews. They went after other ethnic groups or anyone that had the balls to defy them and sent them to death/concentration camps along with the Jews. Honestly, if I was in that era, I probably be sent to one myself for rebelling them.

Second, just because someone is posting Nazi-themed art and claim to be a Neo-Nazi, doesn't mean their views/opinions are wrong and horrible.

In fact, there was nothing even remotely violent about their gallery. Yeah, the first 2 pages of their gallery was filled with Nazi-themed art. But from what I looked at, it was all fictional characters and furries in a Nazi-theme. There was nothing that was encouraging violence to certain people or any other form of "Hate art," with things like "GENOCIDE TO THE JEWS!!1!! D:< ARYAN RACE IS TEH BEST!!1!one!!"
Seriously, there was nothing like that in their gallery. In fact, after the 2nd page, it turned into normal anthro-art, including "Care Bear" themed work.

So for a supposed "Neo-Nazi," this user was pretty mellow, which is why I didn't see any issue with them. They weren't hurting anyone....Just posting harmless Nazi-themed work. :shrug:

In all honesty, if they support views you don't like, don't bother them. I don't agree with Nazism either (Most of the world's population doesn't, but you do have a few Neo-Nazis here and there). But at least I don't go around forcing people to change their views, just because I disagree with them.
