On days where The Washington Post is making the argument that we should get rid of the 1st amendment and enforce “hate speech laws”, it is important to remember that the 1st amendment protects freedom of expression as much as it protects freedom of speech. One man’s freedom of expression got him some serious heat on the internet as one of his drawings severely upset the ‘force is female’ Star Wars fans.

Online artist devilhs, has a large collection of prints but it was one he did of Disney’s Star Wars main character Rey that went viral and won him many fans and enemies. As the drawing made its rounds on the internet, the initial reaction drew disgust and outrage as many Twitter users proceeded to label the artist sexist for his work.

Seriously? This is an insult to the character. 🤬🤬 — Stan Enemies to Lovers (@TheRavensPen) October 25, 2019

This is the worst thing I have seen today why do some people have to sexualize everything — 𝓘𝓼𝓱𝓲𝓴𝓪 ✨ (@ilovestxries) October 25, 2019

I am wondering how your sexy men drawings look like when this is how you draw the women. This is sexism. Everyone saying this is ok bc ˋit is their style‘ is stupid.

I am a lesbian and don‘t find it attractive at while movie Rey aka Daisy Ridley, I do find attractive… — 𝔟𝔞𝔟𝔶 𝔣𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔠𝔢𝔰 🦇🏳️‍🌈 (@witchesmortuary) October 25, 2019

After intense backlash, Devilhs proceeded to defend his work against online attacks.

Jeez, some people are so disgusted with female breast like their dog was crashed to death by big boobs. — devilhs (@mr_devilhs) October 25, 2019

In the past day I got more sexist insults than I got in my entire life.

I get that you may dislike the drawing a lot because it meddles with your favorite character and I respect that – but I feel like saying that all men are a disease is a bit much. — devilhs (@mr_devilhs) October 25, 2019

Then Devilhs closed the door on the Rey controversy like an absolute mad lad..he drew yet another Sexy Rey drawing.
