u know how uhh people say all cops are corrupt primarily on the premise that "good cops" refuse to speak out on the transgressions of "bad cops" (corrupt cops who do evil) artists have a severe case of that, too "good artists" have never released any statement condemning the transgressions of morally bankrupt "artists" all cops are bastards, all artists, too. (footnote: i'm talking about transgressions in art) (cases like kanye west were transgressions of character: kanye west became a supporter of nazism. that had nothing to do with art, he was disowned on account of being a bad human overall) Fodder King — 02/08/2023 10:08 AM and by the way, lads by the way Image this is... the guy artists praise blissfully unaware of who he even was or what he acted like ask me about the guys mathematicians praise! fucking ask me! Newton? crazy guy but he was cool Riemann? Loved father of a christian family, passed peacefully at 39 from tuberculosis reciting a passage from the bible alongside his wife Erdos? He was so sociable and likeable he had co-authored around 1500 publishings with other scientists. 1500! that's the second most papers published by a single person in all of history! ...and the idol for artists is fucking PICASSO and DALI u should look that one up urself, Dali was somehow worse ...but I get it! Picasso, Dali, Kane, these were horrible people, but at least their art was good, right? benefit of the doubt? maybe artists just don't know they are fucked people? but what I cannot tolerate is the continued support for platforms of morally bankrupt, evil art such as pixiv artists continue to use these without a word of question or complaint, further enabling the morally corrupt to carry on with their business and it's the silence that sickens me, the lack of speaking up about "hey that shit's fucked man we should come to an agreement with this platform that this fucked shit shouldn't be on the platform"
