Art Criticism In Action
Now that LJ/6A have taken on the arduous task of Art Critic cum Morality Police, I got to wondering what would happen if non-fandom works ever fell under their (insert sarcasm symbol here) careful scrutiny. Let us imagine that the Gods/Space-Aliens/Whatever-Powers-That-May-Be gifted certain talented but unfortunately long deceased persons with new life and let them have access to the Internet. Let us also imagine these resurrected Great Masters chose Live Journal as a means of expressing their creativity and sharing it with the world -- or at least a goodly portion thereof. Surely they would be welcome with open arms, after all who would not want a DaVinci or a Michaelangelo or even a Van Gogh blogging on their site?
Ah, but what is suitable for the Louvre is not suitable for Ell Jay or their advertisers. And it is especially not suitable for Wankers For Idiocy -- er, I mean "Warriors For Innocence" and their ilk. So it is no giant leap of the imagination to picture this being the result of one such post.
Yes, you may snag & share this picture, that's why this post is public. Yes, I know it may generate wank. Big deal. Go ahead and spooge if you have nothing better to do but don't flame 'cuz that's just nasty. Wankage I will merrily ignore but rudeness ...
Just don't go there. I promise you won't like it if you do.
