Those are just my reasons against attending social gatherings. I don't like hedonism. As for conversation, there are just very few people that I can hold a genuine conversation with. There's a Stanford professor emeritus I enjoy talking to about prog rock, my drug addict friend, and a guy that went to MIT who I find really funny. Most other people try to talk to me about sports or other menial things that I just don't understand. Maybe I'm autistic or something, I don't know.

Honestly, I feel like you are giving excuses to hide.... I have a co-worker with autism that is really smart because she works super hard to learn/relate/etc. And even though I know a lot; I recognize that others are just as smart if not more. There's a lot to be learned from other people even the druggies you look down on. (And yes, I'm in an infested town too.) You never know what someone might know unless you bring up a topic. They might surprise you.

I personally find the creativity & resourcefulness, of some of the people I meet, intriguing. Learning new ways of doing things.

Isn't that called reading manga, in a language you don't know, & guessing the story? XP

Aesthetics and art are something I take very seriously. You guys were talking about how art and artists are criticized now a days, and I explained to you that the reason why was because art has lost its value, and that's because artists don't care about art. How does my analysis not suffice? Is art not intellectual? Does it not take a certain understanding of the world and of meaning to be an artist? I admit that the Sally Amaki thing was just me being retarded. I hate her persona because I think it's cliche, it's simple. I don't always dullahanpost, and I enjoy it because I know it improves my writing. And writing is not exhausting because it comes easy to me. I never even wanted to be a writer, but writing, analysis and philosophy have become things that I enjoy doing. I certainly don't spend 2 hours on each shitpost if that's what you think.
I am snippy but I don't go after people. If I do it's because I feel like they're going after me or others. I'm just disagreeable. For the record I do enjoy taking commies apart but that's an isolated circumstance

Dude, you need to take a chill pill, not insult every single artist & know what you're talking about. At this point, you're just trolling.
I know many artists (irl) and they work very hard at it. The images you see take many years of training & drawing/practicing every single day. You can't do that if you "don't care about art." There is a lot that goes into producing a single piece; let alone an entire comic, etc. Both the art & writing fields require a lot of revision and learning.

Hello, I’ll be filling in for Dullahan tonight. Ahem. They do not have characterization because they are in the acclaimed video game Fate Grand Order.

Not enough-

Not enough vitriol

Damn you, Canon!

No, no, Zurvan, we call those "posts" in civilised company, not "jokes".

I'm probably the closest thing to a republican you're going to see on this website.

I regret to inform you there are multiple Republicans on this site actually

That's where I think you're wrong. Art is mediocre, and I'm not talking about tumblrinas who draw pictures of the people from frozen with big red noses. We're not talking about animators and patreon artists. That is not what I mean by art. None of that goes up in a museum.




i will gladly insult anyone who does shit like this.




Or this

Spoiler:

This is not art. It's obscene. Even writers and artists who come out of Harvard are god awful. Walk into any contemporary art museum and this shit is everywhere. It's sickening.

[Mattias]

Harvard is an art school?

[Mujaya]

Harvard has an art school and many people who come out of Harvard with English degrees go on to be novelists. They suck at it fyi.

Obviously I don't know you and all but no offense you sound like someone who's not very well versed in art and art history.

I am very well versed in art. Like i've said before, I come from a family of artists, so my aesthetic sense is far from unrefined. I know about minimalism and neo-expressionism, and impressionism and abstract expressionism and brutalism and post-modernism and all of that other shit. I'm saying it's bad. Brutalism in architecture was a shit show, and I know you know this because you're an architect. Abstract expressionism and minimalism are both garbage. I like neo-expressionism because of Basquiat. Banksy is a moron, as are many of the other anarchist social critics. I frequent art museums and I've studied the histories and some of the practices of painting, music, literature and poetry extensively. Some of my favorite artists include James Turrell, Yayoi Kusama, and Robert Irwin.

They do not encompass art as a whole, however. Art as a whole has been lacking since about the 1960's when Andy Warhol decided that he thought he could "mass produce" art. Either that or it was when James Pollock swindled people into thinking that he had talent.

Lol art elitism

Lol art elitism

As if that's a bad thing. There is no elite in art. Why do you think nobody cares about it? There sure as hell aren't very many people willing to send their kids to art school.

[Gl❀w]

like, honestly, i just feel bad for you. i am aware that there is nothing that i can say that will change the lens through which you view this world, and that you are willingly and gleefully charging headfirst into a denial of the beauty in all its forms around you is, in all sincerity, one of the most tragic ways i can conceive to spend a life.
