The problem with this challenge is the people who assert that all art is political mean "I can interpret this as political if I use a definition of 'political' that's so broad as to be meaningless." I could draw a black dot on a paper and they would say... show more

I will die on the hill that the intention of the artist is more important than the opinion of the viewer. Just because you can see what you feel relates to you in the art, doesn't mean it was the intended meaning of the art.

You can just tell they absolutely LOVED writing those "explain why the drapes are blue" essays from English class

I like how you pick up this example even tho there is another one you already made. Really putting in the effort. But these ppl are not worth the effort

At some point you realize the bitches going around pointing out "political" part intentional or not by the artist are unironically a bunch of privileged smart-ass who think they know shit, who can never just shut their brain off and stare at rainbow without being PCorrectness

Still trying to figure out the politics of this one

It's not even just that, they'll just say "the motivation behind you making that cheeseburger was political" because you made the image to show it's not political, therefore making it political. Which is retarded, they're just stupid.

Anyone can wear tinted glasses, doesn't mean the world is tinted. Same with viewing the world through political lenses

Then the exact same people will dismiss "woke" interpretations of artistic decisions like race-swapping as "it's not that deep" or retroactively distance themselves from cringe political interpretations of media as "it's so long ago"

The real thing is that "all art is human" meaning that all art is made by humans and about how humans experience the world. People are confused and think this means "all art is political"

I miss Filthyfrank.

Even if one was to grant that the word political is this broad, whatever people are referring to is still real. There's objectively a distinction between literal propaganda, media with a specific message and media made with the sole purpose of making you laugh

And people wonder why certain individuals become pedantic when they notice the meaning of words slipping over the years.

Yes.

My favorite quote on this is from The Act Man “Is all art political? No. Art is what you make of it”. There’s also a difference between politics IN art vs politics AROUND art that people prefer to mix together. Tetris itself isn’t political, but its creation in the USSR could be

You could have just said the curtains were blue lol

This reminds me of that robot that was made to suck up its own leaking fluid and everyone thought it was about the mundane nature of having to work a job. But then the artist came out and said “no, it’s about immigration”.

Holy fucking shit this brings back memories

Black dot on paper clearly represents the black minority surrounded and suppressed by an ocean of whiteness

"All art is political" is just a way for them to justify whatever retarded shit they are going to say.
