i know y’all aren’t doing the exaggerated pearl-clutch with clouty snark and swearing reaction to straycatj for having a point of view influenced by living in a culture that’s fucking different from yours
#so the drama is :
#artist reproduces picture of mr j and kofu as a painting. artist who's apparently renowned enough to be in museums
#artist is found to Do This A Lot as in taking existing pictures of cats and replicating them
#straycatj comments saying that he should not call himself an artist because there's no originality in just copying an existing picture
#someone kindly explains that there may be a difference in how japanese and US cultures view art
#as in in japan originality & creativity > skill level and the opposite in the US
#so in the US reproducing something would still be art because it takes skills to be able to do it so accurately
#The Rest Of Y'all are all like OMG HOW DARE YOU WHAT THE HELL THAT'S SO MEAN I'VE LOST RESPECT FOR YOU
#and like. that's a prime example of how online culture makes people forget THEY NEED TO TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE IN A NICE FUCKING WAY
#straycatj has One thought that's. again. A RESULT OF THE CULTURE THEY COME FROM
#and y'all just jump to calling them names and whipping out the cancellinator 3000
#btw? they have a right to be upset about some artist profiting off a picture of their cats without their consent
#isn't this the Xenophobia Is Bad website.
