Us artists are often patient and empathetic people, but don't let those who threaten our work use that against us. You are allowed to be an asshole to those that seek to invalidate what we do. Oppressors will always shame us for speaking up, don't let them convince you we are wrong for doing so.

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part:
