I completely agree that anyone using those images for profit is just wrong. But the artist says she never plans to sell it. Does anyone have reason to doubt her? It sounds like she's doing well without whatever she might make from this one.
Do they think she's using it to advance her own career? Yeah, she wouldn't be the first artist to do that. I don't see anyone claiming that.
I'm bothered by the idea that you don't get to comment on something unless you are the subject of it, but I also understand that when you're a member of the class responsible for an atrocity it's maybe better to keep your opinion private. I can't think how to defend her right to do this without it sounding like whitesplaining.
