Get the Tower Defense Simulator mug.When bad visual artists (the illustrative kind) drop Pablo Picasso's name in the middle of a discussion to defend their lack of skill. The defense is usually made after people suggest problem areas the artists may want to work on- especially anatomy- and typically comes coupled with a phrase like "it's my style." Think of it like Godwin's Law, but for artists.
Artist A: You have some problems with proportions and either draw hands backwards or hide them in characters' pockets/behind their backs. I suggest studying from real people for a while, and even though it sucks, try not to hide them as much. You won't get better at drawing hands if you avoid them. The rest of your stuff looks really good, though. I like the way you shade hair. Great work!
Artist B: Fuck you motherfucker. You think you can tell me what to fucking do?! Did you think for a second that maybe there's nothing wrong with my anatomy? Maybe you're fucking blind but people mess with proportions ALL THE TIME. Not everyone draws realism you dumb shit. My styles just different from what you think is PERFECT AND SUPER WONDERFUL DESU! Pablo Picasso's anatomy wasn't perfect either. He drew ugly abstract shit all the time. Why aren't you complaining about how fucked up HIS anatomy was, huh?! HUH?!!! GO FUCK YOURSELF!!
Artist A: Pablo Picasso mastered realism when he was a teenager. He didn't make abstract things because he didn't know how to draw people. He drew them that way purposely after learning anatomy. You have to know the rules before you can break them. Stop using the Picasso defense to justify your flaws. Backwards thumbs and hiding hands isn't a style.

Get the Zombie Defense Initiative (ZDI) mug.An updated version of the twinkie defense.
When the suspect in a criminal case uses the accusation that a close friend or relative violated them or fondled them as part of their defense, typically as a way to avoid taking responsibility for what they did. Most notably used in the Casey Anthony and Diane Downs cases, in which young mothers who killed their children accused their fathers of touching them inappropriately (even though this was irrelevant to the cases at hand and most likely completely false, as both women are pathological liars).
When the suspect in a criminal case uses the accusation that a close friend or relative violated them or fondled them as part of their defense, typically as a way to avoid taking responsibility for what they did. Most notably used in the Casey Anthony and Diane Downs cases, in which young mothers who killed their children accused their fathers of touching them inappropriately (even though this was irrelevant to the cases at hand and most likely completely false, as both women are pathological liars).
The intent of the molestation defense is to pander to the sympathy of jurors and media, to distract from the point of the case, and to escape taking responsibility.
Most of the time, the molestation defense is a cheap defense and a way for the suspect to excuse their crime; most victims of rape or incest do not kill, rape, steal, or commit other crimes, which should make anybody following a serious criminal case very wary about such accusations.
Casey Anthony, for one, has proven herself a sociopath by how willing that she is to accuse her father of a serious offense to save her own arse; this from the same woman who partied and whored it up in the month before her daughter was found.

Get the molestation defense mug.Sometimes referred to as the "Sovereign Citizen defense" where somebody sets defense of invalid arguments under the law and misinterpret an argument based around the United States is a corporation, spelled their name in all caps, citing rulings that have no bearing whatsoever in their court case. This type of defense is generally used anti-socials looking to avoid any form of accountability.
There's John using the strawman defense filing paperwork that he's not really "John" because they spelled his name in all caps in his discovery file and misusing court rulings from 150 years ago to claim they have no jurisdiction over him so they must let him go.
Darrell Brooks tried this type of argument which is growing im popularity amongst psychopaths and their defense.
