      I think this fucking religious loon is taking pointers from Islamic loons that behead people for “disrespecting” their pedo prophet.

      The goal of everything isn’t to be “objectively good”, that would be a world of boring art. I feel like an English teacher now.

      “So, what message do you think the artist is attempting to convey with the makeup style? Perhaps look to hints elsewhere in the photo.”.

        Sometimes the curtains are just blue.

        Sometimes the makeup is just bad.

          Using this argument to dismiss any analysis of art or media is pretty fucking boring though.

          No doubt the curtains are just blue but part of the fun is theorizing other things the blue curtains could mean

          There is nothing wrong with seeing the world that way.

          Thinking about things and sharing ideas is just fun. But to your defense, there is nothing wrong with not feeling like playing so I do understand your perspective.

          I suppose it becomes tedious for others when it appears you are saying, “Everyone, stop playing!” versus the more benign, “I don’t feel like playing today.”

          Not sure which you are going for but either way, to each their own! I think your comment is unpopular because the tone may come across as, “Everyone, stop having fun!” but I could def be misreading.

          Nonetheless, hopefully you have something more fun things to think about now :-)

    respect is not a right you get to demand and it should not be codified in law. that they feel the need to ‘take action’ because they are disrespected is scary.

    As I’ve long said about Islam, if your god is so weak that he needs you to defend him, why are you so devoted? Christians have really taken the “don’t criticize my god” torch and started running with it.

    Its not mockery as much as it is just making something shocking to stand out and be remembered.

    Religion appeals to authorities because it allows made up reasons to rule the lives of others. Reject authority, embrace compassion.

  • Gotta love the wording on that, “why do Christians allow this mockery?” Because you don’t have a fucking choice, sit down and stop removed! It annoys the fuck out of me that these idiots even have the gal to suggest they can do anything about supposed “mockery” Shit like this should be met with extreme rebuttal and prejudice, and yes, I say this as a mystic/pagan/whatever the fuck. Idiots like this should be laughed/removeded off stage, no ifs, ands, or buts!
