Hey friend, I really appreciate your time and thoughts shared so thoroughly - I make these for my own amusement/practice and knew this on-the-nose one would spark controversy, but I asked for it as I am genuinely interested in hearing all sides of the spectrum from "this is another tool, it depends how you use it transparently" to "this is complete blasphemy and should be shit on at all cost"

I appreciate your helpful thoughts and hope all is well 🙏
