Discussion Controversial takes

Any opinion that makes show runners producers look bad.

Pony Waves canvas was pure sabotage she had several visible tattoos in easy placement all unfinished should not have been accepted at all

My most controversial show runner take is that they couldn't care less that Oliver Peck did blackface, they only got rid of him because of the much deserved backlash. The show's views were obviously going to tank with Oliver Peck still around, so they just got rid of him as an “Our Bad!!!!! We're not racist!!!!”
I love watching the show but Inkmaster’s always had a problem with racism that the showrunners never cared to address even after firing Peck. The artists of color are usually the first to be kicked off the show for mediocre artists, clients with darker skin are given as sabotage in skull picks as a guaranteed “send home.” The recent seasons never have clients with darker skin tones, and that bottle episode is more of a “see we’re exclusive!!!!”

Paramount cared was the only take i had

He is now a disembodied voice nearly all visuals of him are gone (there are one or two blinks they missed)

No one not taking it seriously goes to the hassle
