not for nuthin but healthcare in america is real fuckin depressing. I grew up in a household that had health insurance and coulda got me a lot of help when i was growin up, but my parents were like "naw you're just disobedient is all, you need more discipline and more god" and once i finally got outta there, I was ready to get treatment for issues that shoulda been dealt with in the early stages, but I can't afford to pay ten years worth of labor every month and I'm too disabled to get hired by any company that even would offer health insurance (and even if i managed to get said insurance by some miracle they'd find a way to never pay for anything anyway) so I'm stuck in the same damn boat with a different fuckin shitass captain

Mine is not SUBTLE. He probably wears rainbow underwear that says I love Daigo Dojima written on them. Like I identified his character in Ishin purely based of off the gay vibes he was giving me. Mine is the gay disaster rep we deserve.

mine's a distinguished homosexual who relatively functions like a semi-normal human being until the second daigo takes a nap for two weeks THEN he's a category 4 disaster

It’s funny that the Joe Teague’s tendency to wear his heart on his sleeve is both my favorite and least favorite thing about him.

This, except that a lot of it is straightforwardly economic.

To make it in a lot of artistic spheres, you don't just have to get invited to the right parties - in order to go to those parties, you need to be living and making art full time for no immediate income somewhere like London.

No surprise that the vast majority of modern artists come from independently wealthy backgrounds.

The problem with "I could do [X popular modern art piece]" being responded to with "then go ahead and do it!" is that I think the point that a lot of people are making is not so much "this artwork has no value" but rather "modern popular art is a heavily gatekept industry that you cannot enter into without requisite pre-existing social cachet".

So even if someone is technically/artistically able to create something on the level of a gallery piece (and, to be honest, I think substantially more people have that ability than anyone would be likely to admit) they do not exist in an environment where they have the financial freedom or recognition for that to be possible or worthwhile.

I assure you that there are millions of people who absolutely could and would want to make Pollock style abstract paintings or giant time-consuming sculptures made with garbage or whatever, but they're currently stuck in a low wage job and if they quit in order to make their masterpiece then nobody would bat an eye and they would go broke because they wouldn't have the sociocultural weight to impart that special numinous reverence that "high art" is granted, and which makes it financially viable as a thing to spend your time doing.

It is also true that a lot of people who have that cachet are able to spend their time making pretty much whatever, and will still be able to support themselves even if the art itself is fairly mediocre outside of the time dedicated to its creation.

Anyway, I feel that people are perfectly valid in feeling a sense of vague resentment at that when they visit galleries holding paint/canvas combinations that sell for more than they will earn in several years. I mean it speaks to what society is implying about their worth as a person. I don't think that it's as much about arrogance and entitlement as people like to pretend, because a lot of that comes from buying into the mystique of the Worthy Artist anyway.
