I don’t mean to challenge anyone or cause trouble, but I just keep thinking about what has been said and I feel like maybe I should say this.

@christieaton you mentioned that we shouldn’t have a legalistic mindset “of what is good and what is bad and expect everyone to follow that…”
It’s true that the Bible doesn’t give us a specific list or law telling us that fan art is bad. And I think you’re right, it’s not wise to assume ones self as being “right” (as we are all equally flawed human beings) and force convictions on to our brothers and sisters in Christ. But when I think of the word legalism (maybe this is way off) I think of the pharisees, the way they went above and beyond in keeping the laws they were given. Except they did this to appear righteous.
I feel that it would be inaccurate to call someone legalistic for behaving themselves how they think God wants them too. If they are doing it out of love for God -as opposed to wanting to appear more Holy, or get more “good girl points” from God.

And while I mentioned that you convinced me that fan art isn’t the problem, do you not think that the content we advertise should be in line with the things God would want us and the rest of his Children to take part in consuming?

@Dekreel I think God certainly does want us to delight in his creation, but keep in mind that not all things on this earth are how he intended for them to be.
(I’m sure you know this, I just felt like I needed to say it anyway. 🙂 )
