I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

    That's just inappropriate and offensive.
    Are MaoBlender and HitlerBlender to be next?
    This hurts the reputation of Blender and Open Source in general.

    • Che Guevara was a cold murder. There's no freedom in Cuba, thanks to this killer.

      This is not about Blender, this is not about Open Source.

        • Che Guevara was a sick f#ck and a mass-murder. One of his favorite hobbies was to bring in the mother of the person he was going to execute, have her beg to have her son's life to be spared, and then he'd pick up the phone and tell his men to fire. He got his jollies off the pain and suffering of those women. It makes me sick to see these ignorant twits glorify him and use his image as a cultural and fashion statement. 

          @ ElPancho — Che was a COMMUNIST. Communists DID NOT or EVER HAD fought for FREEDOM. They fought for freedom to SUBJUGATE others. He more than qualifies to be in the same circle of villains such as Hitler. In fact, Che shared many of the Socialist beliefs that Hitler had.  He was even as big a racist as Hitler. He referred to Mexicans as a bunch of illiterate indians.

  2. Dont you know guys that blender.org seems to secretly supporting communism? And by the way Open source in wikipedia is linked to anarcho-communism... They very well know what they are doing:)

    Calm  down, guys. Really. The CHE in the name it's not a reference to Che Guevara, but a reference to our daily language. I took this image because i think that this was about "joking" about Blender Revolution. No one here will take a gun nor anything like that. It's just plain and silly humour. Since it's an Argentinean conference, and Che was argentinean i thought it would be ok.
    In that conference we will share, learn, see, and enjoy what we take there to do. So, please, it's just a joke. Sorry if someone feels bad about it, but i have the rights to take this as a joke. I have worked hard to get all this running, and i hope it will be great!

    And please, read more history, because agree or not with his ideology and his ways, he was something more than a "cold murderer". Saying that is plain ignorance. ;)

    Claudio, sorry for dissapoint you, but This blender conference IS ABOUT BLENDER and IS ABOUT OPEN SOURCE. If you don't like it, you always can organize your own conference. I really get pissed off by people that doesn't have any trace of sense of humour.

    • Sorry if I call "El Chancho" (The Pig, because Che stunk) a "cold murder". Maybe he's a hot and sexy killer for some...

      But please, celebrate Diego Maradona (The Hand of God) in the next conference.

      A great meeting to "los hermanos argentinos".
      Claudio, from Brasil.

      • Martineschoyez on

        For me Guevara was not a "hot and sexy killer", i think it's a very stupid thought, indeed. And no, i don't wan't to celebrate Maradona either. I don't celebrate anything but the blender meeting, i realize that i was wrong in doing this graphic joke. You didn't get the point. I was busy trying to get places, graphic support, organizing people and lecturers, preparing workshops, communicating the event, and some other things to think that my graphic joke could start a stupid and pointless discussion. :( Really sad.

  5. Tough luck your common friendly Argentinian or CHE is confused for the antagonist, conflictive and murderer named Ernesto Guevara.

  6. Hi ! my name is Lehn-hariher (nickname), i am brazilian and i now the history about Che Guevara, all of kind histories the U.S.A may say to make you belive is the minor and deturpaded par of the history.

    He is not a killer, he is some one who want freedom for his people and engaged in a war, he have become impotant not by killing but for what he did to prevent many to die.(it's a war baby, people die)

    Che guevara's face means revolution for the people who wants chages.

    By the way: Nice art, i love bleder too since 2.33, and open source and the community, nice site/forum

    let's forget about Che and concetatre in what is impotant, ok ?

    Thank you for reading this. 

    • Martineschoyez on

      "let's forget about Che and concentrate in what is important, ok ?"

      That's truly the message. Clear, ok? I just want to put my head in the event, and i found some ignorants humourless that neither gave his name trying to make me think that a stupid graphic joke means hurting the reputation of Blender and Open Source? WTF?????
      sorry, this really hurts my own efforts to make a great event.
