That is called violation. So if I walk around and say look sir, I'm not feeling so good today, I need some space, can you please not f*** with me today? I need cut-off space, not violation,"

And the photos they always take is when that blowfish is blown up or when that porcupine is defending itself from the lies and the control and the manipulation that you deal with if you are an artist.
