SU fans stfu challenge go!!!
I explain the painting better in the tags incase the image explaination is too blunt
people on tumblr will look at this painting and be like "what if the artist just wanted to paint a big lady"
#jesus christ#edit i was looking thru the reblogs and someone said ‘i couldnt tell it was ab manifest destiny because of my neurodivergance!/1!!/‘#i am autistic and i could tell by looking at the picture for 1 second jesus christ#even if i didnt take art where you have to write indepth essays about paintings#i could still tell this was ab manifest destiny you fuckwad#stop using neruodivergance as an excuse to be insensitive#waa waa waa I DONT WANNA FUCKING HEAR IT#edit no.2 i have dumbed down the images of the painting a lot#the clouds aren’t the only thing that show to native people as ‘bad’#see the buffallo / ox skeleton on the ground with the arrow in it#portrays them as ‘messy’ and ‘uncivilised’#or them with their tipis while you can see the settlers’ city in the background#yet again showing them as ‘uncivilised’#hell#even how the settlers’ side of the painting has soft rolling hills while the native american’s side has sharp pointy mountains#symbolising that ‘these people are dangerous’#holy shit look at the fucking painting for a minute#then you can see why it’s racist#and tbh i feel like i’m reaching with the mountain / hills here#but holy shit
