I hate it when people use food as a statement for things in this world.

This has been very informative. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I'm sorry, I've been living under a rock recently, so I have no clue what it is.

Somehow watermelons got made into a symbol of the conflict in Palestine.
No, it doesn't make any sense to me either.

I had to look it up because I had no idea about Watermelon=Palestinian, let alone why.
It's because the colors of the fruit match the Palestinian flag, and a way to show support as there were instances of statements of support being censored or shadow banned.

Fine, but lets’s say around the artist community… recently… the watermelon.

I still associate watermelons with boobies and my pink sleeping mask made from watermelons

Hi, I’m tenant from rock 13, 4th field.

It became a mascot based on events that are happening and I feel like If I draw a picture of a watermelon, people might think it is a statement about one of the current events than it being one of my favorite fruits.

Totally went past me despite I’m having a few artsy friends being pro P. I also have few friends who are super Greenpeace. Yet I can’t even manage to get on work on time.

What has that to do with each other? Easy. I couldn’t give a shit about others because I can’t even handle my own shit. Idk which corner of the net you’re on, but my timeline of Twitter, IG, and Facebook haven’t had anything remotely politically instrumentalized food at all. Unless people are invested in that political opinion, a watermelon will remain a watermelon.

Also context matters. I doubt a dog eating watermelon will be picked up as political message. Draw the juiciest, ripe watermelon you can. If you make that sweet liquid drip on a chest m/f…trust me, nobody will think that is supposed to be some sort of support.

But seriously, why would you draw a random watermelon???

Maybe I want to draw a character smashing watermelons, or sittting on a deck eating watermelons. Aren’t watermelons associated with summer?

Really?
Why is it ALWAYS me?
Okay... fine... I'll do it.

Seriously, I'm getting sick of this. The rest of you are getting lazy. Uncle Eldritch will not always be around to pick up the slack. I expect you shitposters to get off your asses and get your A-game on. What are you doing? Going outside? Enjoying the sunlight and fresh air when there are people on the internet saying silly things that need to be mocked?

HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO TELL MY WIFE, "NO DEAR, I CANNOT COME TO BED RIGHT NOW. SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET."?

Your first reply made me assume you want to draw a single watermelon. Drawing it in such a summer scenario is even less likely to make the connection to P.
