I need your opinion (trigger warning for language) [View all]

Most of you know I rarely swear on the DU. I received some feedback on our DU Ukraine page. I have a salute to the Ukrainians that told the Russians to F off. Should I replace that graphic on our "OFFICIAL" DU page?

Here is the page: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforukraine
