its not about whether the request is reasonable, its about whether you’re an asshole or racist or whatever for refusing. and it is very very easy for you to never wear red again in your life, so surely just not wearing red for one day of the week is not that unreasonable?
if not wearing red on tuesdays were a muslim tradition, you absolutely would be calling me out the exact same way for saying i dont intend to follow that tradition
But I wear red plenty now, so it would at least be somewhat of a burden to remember not to wear red on Tuesdays. It’s not a burden at all to not draw Muhammed because I never draw him anyway.
It’s the going out of one’s way to be as offensive as possible that makes this asshole behavior. No one’s ordinary routine is being disrupted, no one’s being even slightly inconvenienced.
What if you never wear red but, upon being told you’re racist if you wear red on tuesdays, you decide to start wearing red on tuesdays? Does this circularly make you racist?
People don’t like being told not to do harmless things because of other people’s religious or personal beliefs and will often do those things as a result of being told not to do them because, again, they are harmless things that should not be stigmatized. Drawing pictures of any human who has ever lived or will ever live is a harmless activity which should not get you called racist or an asshole. It doesn’t matter if this is just one guy and you could draw any of the other guys who have ever lived, there is no reason not to draw him.
If I never did something – let’s call it drawing a picture of Muhammad – but I started doing it specifically to piss off a group of people my country has demonized and killed by the millions, yes, I would be an enormous piece of shit.
