I disagree - I see your point; you don’t want to give detractors ammo against you. The problem is that every act of submission you make is progress for your opponent - I agree the picture is vile on par with the famous “piss Christ” but if society accepts one without applying a “hate message” in it; then why should the other get a pass - your assuming you’re opponents have standards - that they will treat you fairly and take into consideration your intent.

Instead they will just blame you for something else anyways; a life in your knees is not worth living to quite a man I knew from WW2.
