    this is what it always comes down to

    they don’t respect artists, they don’t respect artistic labour but they so desperately need and want the fruits of said labour and so the only option left is to cheat and lie

    hell, it’s evident in the last sentence of their reply - that they see ‘Artist’ as a profession that is getting ‘Obsoleted’, as if the only reason art exists in the first place is because we as a society have been too archaic, and we would jump at the chance to drop the creative process in a heartbeat

    complete and total alienation from creativity as a human experience

      it’s so bleak and I can’t sympathize with their perspective at all. It’s like the most they get out of art is to see a picture or a movie and say it looks cool. Purely superficial. They don’t like art, they like decoration. They don’t actually care about seeing a representation of another perspective. They don’t care about themes, symbols, or what an artist is trying to communicate, nor do they even want to know.

        its very evident from their other replies that their metric for ‘good’ art is ‘is it beautiful?’ and their definition of ‘beauty’, in turn, is simply ‘does looking at this release dopamine or not’

        deeply unserious person
