this is vaguely related to the string theory related post from a day or two ago, it's all bazinga science folks TL;DW string theory is a big thing because people that read pop science really liked it and it took a long time for physicists to come out in force and say "this is untestable garbage"

    I feel like we are being justva little post modern here though. Human nature is fundamentally knowable and mundane. That is why being nice to each other is important. That is the implication of historical materialism.

      Christ. Now you're using the "postmodern" boogeyman word like :up-yours-woke-moralists: . I'm not even going to humor that accusation with further commentary.

      Again, because you still don't have anything else new to say: Art, by definition, is eligible for and should be criticized. If it can’t be criticized, it isn’t art.

        Do you think I understand what you mean by repeating the mantra? Is repeating it helping? I don't think the criticism you are making is justified yourblogic you are using

          Clearly you're not understanding because you keep moving the goalposts and spinning in circles about how it's just a silly cartoon but also art but also art criticism must be friendly or else it's policing and somehow a threat to your consumption of the product.

          You haven't offered anything of substance so far that deserves any more because you refuse to internalize the very basis of art criticism which is, again, that art, by definition, is eligible for and should be criticized. If it can’t be criticized, it isn’t art.
