The former pertains to the product she's creating directly, the latter, to nothing more than likes on Twitter and even then, is only inferred about her.
That's probably the best approach I could imagine him taking...just own it and don't make the situation worse with paragraphs of flowery apologies and excuses-that-aren't-really-excuses.

I agree. He acknowledged wrongdoing and appears to genuinely be trying to repair the situation as best he can. Doesn't make it OK, obviously, but it's the right thing to do now that it's happened.
Upon looking through the cards Jason Felix has illustrated, I noticed that his style is strangely all over the place though. Maybe it's bias because of this case, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that he "fudged" his stuff in one way or the other before.
That is usually a sign of either/or two things being true; that the artist is eccentric and likes to consistently push into new styles + work on projects of dissimilar types, or, that the artist relies on 'borrowing' work from others and tracing over it leaving a scattershot art effect.
What views? I didn't express any views. Except regarding this situation. I am pleased to know the artist owned up to this but... it's still really bad that the theft occurred at all. "Overworked" my be true, but it reads to me as "I just didn't care enough."
Well, it requires a person of true fortitude to be this honest regardless.
@AndyNemmity is immediately asking the hard-hitting question:
Replying to @Art_JasonFelix
Has this ever happened before?
That one is going to linger. While the suggestion was denied, you cannot prove the negative.

Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.

I think he meant views about Terese Nielsen and not about Jason Felix. Because having a different opinion is bad, didn't you know? lol
Jason responded in a reasonable way , doesnt undo his mistake, but in the end, thats the only proper way to get this done.
However to be consistent, he should never be allowed to be an artist for MTG again, as we have plenty of artists to choose from that do not have this flaws and honor their craft, which he clearly does not enough to a professional degree (as if anything, this can be an example that artists should actually give a damn and not do that under any circumstances, otherwise if you can just "excuse" this and still keep going, artists will abuse this for sure).
----
Terese Nielsen is an amazing person and any slander to her name is disgusting (as she stated nothing but the truth, and some people dont want to see the reality and deny it to their own harm and pitchfork their way through life).
Terese Nielsen to massive twitter insanity
For me this is far more reasonable standpoint than all the screeching twitter mobs that just seek to harm people because they are bored.

The link is a statement they released in response to previous events of them being, in their words, "exommunicated". One would assume that there were by then other things stated before as well. How then is "all" there?

The statement in question actually doesn't state anything. She doesn't deny nor confirm, just says that "we all should live together despite our differences". Is that "the truth"?
It sounds like a bit of a cop out since the persons she was accused of being too close are not for peaceful coexistence themselves.

If you have to defend someone whose views align with QAnon and Neo Nazis, chances are they aren't a good person. And neither are the people defending them or playing semantics in regards to, again, literal alt-rightism
But if you think neo nazi supporters are good people, what does that make you?
"we all should live together despite our differences"?
Wow, what a horrible thing to say right!? lol
And the ones she's defending are people who violently oppose that. You can't live together with people who want to kill you for your differences, no matter how accepting of them you are.
Exactly. Asking for tolerance regarding their opinions is the favorite trick of intolerant people.
I'm very forgiving and I believe it's possible Nielsen didn't consciously mean any harm, but I'm sorry you can't get away with a rosy touching speech a la "let's love each other" if you're supporting alt-right ideas that actively hurt so many. If she's sincere and wants to put her "positive state of mind" in action, she needs to stop lying to herself and realize it is incompatible with that kind of political discourse.
If she doesn't, well that just means that statement was PR BS that can't be taken seriously.

On the contrary, there is no defending, as nothing she said is anywhere problematic at all.
What there is to defend is that people jump on that and paint a picture like shes the devil incarnate, and thats the real crime here.
There are actual problems in the world, and this is not even remotely anywhere one of them, but a subsection of people really badly wants to make it one, and suddenly they produce their own problems, by pure fantasy.
Its like kindergarten kids "Oh so and so said a mean word, they are so bad ..." , at some point you grow up and accept that people have vastly different opinions on life and they are not the enemy for that.
"Exactly. Asking for tolerance regarding their opinions is the favorite trick of intolerant people."
This kind of crap is also wild, as this paints absolutely anybody as evil you like to be.
Everyone that says nothing is guilty, people that defend themselves, clearly guilty, oh, that witch we put in a cage and let sink to the bottom of the sea, clearly guilty.
Oh comon, at some point people just make up conflict out of thin air and celebrate themselves for their witch-hunt, while absolutely nobody is without sin, they just forget about that (and that is already stretching far).
People just assume if someone clicks a button thats labeled "like" suddenly you agree to everything and all that person said.
No, just no.
If anything Twitter is a manufactory of diversion, hate and misunderstanding, as absolutely anything is put on a scale like its the only truth in the world and everyone wants to be the arbiter of truth, nothing they disagree with has any right to exist ... and yes, thats the definition of a totalitarian mob-rule and the biggest irony of them all, that mob is preaching and screaming inclusion and diversity, while they are anything but that, as they eat each other alive and seek out the next victim to trash.
This crap is tiring, as it only destroys valuable members of the community, Terese Nielsen is and forever will be beloved by Magic players, that she actually speaks her mind instead of caving in for corporate mascaraed and charade is an actual benefit that we need more people off, not less.
She also donated pieces to people who vehemently propagate alt-right perspectives and seems to favour Alex Jones so that right there says a lot about the density of her "mea culpa."
Then again, coexisting means being exposed to things you might not necessarily agree with.

This was the proof for me. Likes are one thing, but being willing to donatemoney to said groups in the form of prints for fundraising, then you know she believes them entirely.

You can donate to anything, you do not have to support anything behind that cause.
To believe that is the kind of extreme that only brings in hate and diversion.
Its the prime example of why you cannot take anything on Twitter as fact at all and judge a persons character by any of that nonsense.
If theres a single thing she might appreciate, everyone is free to donate to any cause they like, to whatever degree they agree on as they like.
Terese Nielsen especially, people made it their personal vendetta to make her the villain, people that spend hours a day to produce anything to label their victim, its the exact reason Twitter is the festering pool of maggots it became.

The biggest irony of all, people read something, assume its fact and totally not driven by an agenda to hate a person out, and suddenly the mob is twirling around the sky to single out their victim.
And for what ? People have an opinion somebody disagrees with, thats a capital crime for the mob.
This behavior is disgusting, toxic to the core and if anything unhealthy to these peoples mental health as well.

Point your attention to actual problems, like pedophiles in the Magic community, thats what true evil looks like (and the very same people that hate on Terese Nielsen are the ones that jump to defend that kind of people).
"Snorlexi" made it its personal task to hate out everyone that isnt strictly pro-trans topics ... and this destructive diversions are not helping that cause in the slightest.
Equating support of Nazis to "disliking someone for an opinion" is a massive reductionist take. It's not like people are after her because she likes pineapple on pizza or anything more reasonable.
