The Approaching Battle In Aesthetics Is Between The Reactionary/essentially Right-wing Movement Against
The approaching battle in aesthetics is between the reactionary/essentially right-wing movement against AI and slop/mass aesthetics
Anti-AI is based on the economic interests of small business owners (comm artists are small business owners) and has conservative values as a result. These include measuring the value of art based on the ‘hard work’/‘effort’ that went into its creation, and discomfort with art that is not made under the domination/control of a specific individual. This merges with the explicitly right-wing hatred of modernism, abstract art, etc.
Mass slop aesthetics are based on mass participation in consumption, absence of the cult of the creative individual, maximalism. It’s not obvious, but I think it also includes a culture of mass participation in art through its rejection of aesthetic hierarchy and standards
Let’s sink into the tide of slop forever

from the wikipedia page of Guarino Guarini. I like how in that era, their culture was about being a polymath and intellectuals were expected to speculate on so many different topics. It would be interesting if it were like that today. Athanasius Kircher must be the ultimate example of this.
Maybe 'living life as art' is a reincarnation of this ideal.
I don't actually enjoy arguing, but seeing an opinion I really disagree with in text feels sort of overpowering and makes me want to carve out a space against it. Like in a response comment. Maybe it isnt such a good idea
The Paracas culture made the best art in the universe
(they are also the inspiration for a lot of the imagery in Yume Nikki)
Artistic freedom is part of your mental autonomy, that you have the right to communicate with people in the way you feel you need to, you can express your thoughts/feelings etc. you can manipulate ideas, that's a real freedom
property rights are exclusively designed to control people and enforce economic inequality and when applied to creative concepts this is extra true, I would even consider it a kind of emotional/psychological violence because it stops people from communicating with each other
fanfic/meme images exist in an unenforced niche, they are not legal under copyright

This is absolutely a correct statement if it was just about personal remixes, but the context here is about businesses using other people's work without permission. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're allowed to remix it yourself. If a company has the means to use someone's work in a for-profit venture, then they have the means to pay someone for the product of their labour. These companies don't even use other people's IP in a novel way that bends IP law to create something that contributes to culture; the loss of culture if sellers of Redbubble t-shirts couldn't just take pictures from the internet and sell them for 40 bucks anymore would be negligible compared to, say, losing Lasgna Cat alone would be.
its already illegal for redbubble sellers to do that though. thats already not allowed. like thats already literally a copyright violation under current copyright law and guess what: because random people posting their fanart online don't have the money to afford a corporate lawyer, it just keeps happening and will keep happening, because copyright law never has and never will defended anyone but the wealthy. like this fantasy of your art as a Small Artist being protected by copyright law is just that, a fantasy, it doesn't happen and will never happen. you are completely detached from reality!
I thought this was about Li Bai. I guess it really is commonplace.
a good poet never dies, he just oh my god he’s gone into the water, i can’t see him, i don’t think he’s coming up, does anyone have a rope or like a long branch we can throw, how does this keep happening oh my god
suspicious of how hololive fans convince themselves that every graduation is caused by idiosyncratic personal reasons of the vtuber in question and that the corporation doesn't have any responsibility
No idea what this is called but it sounds really good
the juxtaposition between being asked to basically be a national scarecrow to scare off any countries salivating to invade due to the coup and playing dress up to prepare for the cultural festival at school is insane lmao
one chapter has the leader of the coup practically begging her to agree to be a national deterrent, and the next is her being sent off to the crafts club to have her fitted for the princess cosplay she'll be doing in the festival abdlamdkqkejejdjdnfncn
