The Longhouse

[GEORGE_FLOYD]

@Matticus

No, you're right right, it is simpler than that. Ultimately art just needs to feel true -- attempting to rationalize things has always been a futile afterthought.

Cringe.

@big_ass

I think even beyond that - art has a "feel." We instinctively know if something is art and the layer of words ("rationalizations" as you call it - but to me, the very existence of language itself) we apply on top in an attempt to communicate that instinct in fact obfuscates it (this is why people who spend too much time on things like "debate" often have the worst instincts)

We know these people are not "artists" "engineers" without talking about it - it is an instinctive thing. Their sob story twitlongers offend us because they are ultimately an act of self-deception - an attempt to pull the wool over our eyes (and, or more importantly, their own) using a series of linguistic tricks, each more warped than the last but none more so than the psyche of their depraved author

Cringe.

@big_ass

Your typical "Games Artist" is a lunatic who, wearing a fuzzy wool cap pulled down over his eyes, runs about the interior courtyard of your local Corporate Games Studio bumping into the glass (like a bug in a terrarium) shouting: Witness Me, an Artist!

Cringe.

the longhouse is restored

[GEORGE_FLOYD]

Yes: I no longer parse the world through a lens of the dichotomy of Marxism, Capitalism, through Consumerism and Commodification. I am a modern man: I live in the post-scarcity, globalized world where I navel-gaze about Ameritard ZIRP fake-jobs.

Want to know what art is? It's might makes right. That's it. If you think something is art and the other party doesn't, kill them. Settle it on the battlefield: the local parking lot, your workplace.

[GEORGE_FLOYD]

D'oh! We're just meta-analyzing and rationalizing what is art! It's pointless to think about, it's just some social signaling game ... we have to extract the SOCIAL COMPONENTS (filled with endless recursion and second-guessing) ....

[GEORGE_FLOYD]

No -- it's very simple. If you're coming to these sort of flimsy conclusions, indicative of a feeble mind and a lack of constitution, you should be killed and your death will be the most valid evidence that you are wrong.

[GEORGE_FLOYD]

Art (Race) is socially constructed.

[BIGMATTHEW]

isnt this guy supposed to message kyle on steam to get forum access? mods?

[big_ass]

That sure seems like a lot of words. I am not really convinced this guy understands art

Aesthetics is when you're 7 feet tall and shaped like an alien and also have to wear long sleeves if you go out in the sun (like an alien)

every woman I encounter wants me to have sex with them. you might argue otherwise, but you're wrong.
