#like _i_ believe you can disagree with the creator about what it means

What's the point of making love the point of it all. I don't even mean this bitterly like oh actually vileness is the point, humanity is inherently evil, etc, I'm asking, why would every single point of creativity need to have some relation to love? How does that make sense? Why are you reverse engineering art to be about the absence of love (thus actually about love)?
"if it's not about love, it's empty, it's meaningless, it's nothing" ??? What does that even mean??? I'm struggling to put into words but this is like...the artistic version of "the point of humanity is to procreate" even if you think so, it means very little especially wrt to individual creation. It's pointlessly vague.
Hey here's a piece about plurals and dissociative identity disorder. Here's a song reflecting the terror i felt while cave diving. Here's a little something about boredom and why it feels like I'm literally dying. Just kidding! They're all about love. Because that's the point of it all.
#it's also like if someone says their work isn't about love what do you gain by insisting that it is?#like _i_ believe you can disagree with the creator about what it means#but do you the love filled hoper believe that's okay? to deny the trauma artist?
