 i just turned 23 and in that time on earth i have: - gotten 4 thousand followers on my garfed spam account on a forgotten federated german website  im a fucking jolly multicoloured frog bouncing around in your empty echoey skull just croaking my absolute head off i consider the luigi yu-gi-oh feud with eugen over bofa.lol to be one of the greatest bits in the history of this website. i know its an idiosyncratic opinion, but then thats what has made me such an influential posts critic  @garfiald I think I missed this the first time around. You got some links to the lore? I think that pushback against literary analysis is an expression of contempt for art in general. "It's not that deep" is a way of saying art is not worth understanding, which is another way of saying that it is not worth spending any time on. People who say this very often do spend time engaging with art, but they internalise an ideology which is opposed to art functioning as anything other than a commodity my husband wont stop cheating on me with the salad he orders through alexa. we make $600,000 dollars a year remember that lawsuit where a guy sued coca cola because he found a rat carcass in his coke can and coca cola successfully argued that if a rat carcass was put inside a coke can on the assembly line it would have entirely dissolved into the coke by the time you opened the can Actually, arguments in favour of "economy of form" which demand that media such as albums, films, books not "waste the audience's time" buys into the commodification of every aspect of existence by capitalism. Art should not subscribe to this commodification: it should resist it. So fill your novels with as many digressions, your movies with as many lingering shots and unnecessary scenes, your albums with as much filler as you feel like doing. I will be happy to waste that time with you. @garfiald Fuck yeah! The space between things is as important as the things themselves.  |
