An email I received left me speechless. Obviously, they don't respect my creative choices. I will not 'fix' this panel under any circumstances.

This demand makes more sense if you take it under the context of the maintainer of a FLOSS type project.
Unreasonable demands to change your work because of them.

@serge Hehe, I should probably answer them "It's not a bug, it's a feature. WONTFIX."
The more time I spend with the letter, the more I see nuances.
Firstly, to their credit, the author isn't admonishing you directly, and they are saying their perspective out loud, which I think is positive. They aren't saying "This is immoral", etc. only that for her and people like her, this isn't acceptable, but he names who those people are, which is good.
...which is what it is. The work isn't for her.
What I think is interesting is how invisible culture is to people.
What might she think of the bisou. People kissing each other's faces all the time would probably freak her out.
But what if she was a Haredi Orthodox Jew, and you had two non-married people of the opposite sex holding hands?
Or what if she was a conservative Muslim offended by Pepper not covering her head?
Like I said, at least she acknowledges her specific perspective.
And anyway, they're free to modify P&C as per the license. :)
@serge @davidrevoy And of course the work *is* for her and people like her! It's offering them growth and insight, even salvation! But not everyone is open to the good news (at least, not yet).
