□ Anonymous 10/04/14 (Sat) 20:11:58 ID: f8eee5 No.357289 22357316 22357332 3357195 I posted this over on/gg/, but I might as well put it here too. I still can't believe these SOCJUS idiots have the gall to lecture anybody about the nature of art. These cretins want "art" to be a "safe" and "tolerant" (by their own twisted definitions of those words) extruded product. Masterpieces by checklist: you need an approved character mix of genders, races, religions and sexual orientations (whether or not the characters themselves are worthwhile is beside the point), they must be presented in an approved way (because everyone knows cleavage is the mark of Beelzebub!), plots must adhere to approved standards (how dare you present an oppressed woman as an antagonist, you cishet monster!)... Christ, it's like going before the State Committee for Art Approval. And your project won't get made if you don't grovel before the Subcommittees for Transgender Affairs and Oppression Mitigation. And who the f--- are they, to proclaim themselves the stalwart defenders and protectors of the fragile minds of the dumb herd animals and barely-restrained monsters that comprise the rest of society by their lights? Such a burden it must be, to protect our delicate minds from damaging thoughts or unsafe ideas! And somehow, depite their vapid blathering about "art," they've managed to completely miss what art is. They couldn't d art with a pack of da Vinc sniffing bloodhounds! For art to be possible, the very concept of thought police must be demolished. And yes, 95% of what emerges from that environment of freedom will be crap. It'll be dull, substandard, offensive, juvenile, lowest-common-denominator tripe fit only to be forgotten. But without the freedom to be offensive, to write actual characters as opposed to including required and approved "story ingredients," you don't get Hunter Thompson. Or Hemingway. Or Twain. Or Ursula LeGuin. Or Octavia Butler. You sure as s--- don't get Shakespeare - boil away the archaic language, and a surprising amount of the Bard's work is the 16th century equivalent of d--- jokes. You think that'd fly as art today as far as the SOcJUs retards are concerned? These self-appointed stewards of "art" want it to be "safe." And they would never understand why their nice safe art spaces produce "art" that is about as unimpressive as anything produced by the Soviets back in the bad old days. Me? I want art to be f------ dangerous. I want artists to feel free to go as far as their demented imaginations can carry them. And if it's too much for me, or I find their work offensive, I don't need an art critic nanny to protect my delicate sensibilities. I'lljust say "that's crap" and refuse to buy the artist's work. You know, like a f------ adult with my own mind capable of determining for myself what is and is not worthwhile. My sense of art is not democratic. It is a dictatorship. And they don't get either a vote or a voice in that decision. And that's probably why they sauawk so much.

As a aspiring Video Game Artsit, this is very relevant to my interests.

No, let me rephrase that…

Don't you fucking dare to even try to censor and manipulate any kind of art or media. Ever.
No matter what disgusting, awful, horrendous crawling of crayon lines you are looking at, don't you ever condemn it to a bureaucratic pile of 'Shit I don't like and ust be changed'. Just leave it on the 'Shit I don't like' pile and forget about it.
