I suppose the other thing to consider is the (art book in the photos) by an author who regularly depicts children naked, dismembered, and covered in blood.
Please stop engineering doubt. It's absurd to pretend that there isn't a consistent theme of child abuse here.
Not a claim on OP, but in general for this conversation: I find it intriguing that the level of grace and benefit that is given to the people involved in this controversy seems to be at an all time high. I wonder if the same people extending this grace and benefit of the doubt would do so with those opposed to them politically.
- navjack27 4y agoThe theme is child abuse... Except not in the way that you're thinking about it... It's speaking out against it by showing the extreme depiction of it in a controlled art manner.
- brippalcharrid 4y agoThat's an interesting take. What leads you to think that the artist is speaking out against child abuse, though? What do you we have to go on here that would allow us to assign that intention to them?

- Loughla 4y ago>Art is meant to be [. . .] There are literally thousands of years of texts, debates, classes, hell, entire schools based around those first five words. You simply cannot use them definitively. It's just not that simple.
- PuppyTailWags 4y agoNah, I don't think this is the take generally. There is art that crushes the human spirit. Art about war. Art about slavery. Art about personal trauma. I think if we only depicted pretty war, pretty slavery, pretty rape and genocide, that's pretty disgusting.
- harywilke 4y agoI can think of lots of art that are designed to, if not crush the humans spirit, at least call into question the goodness of it. See "Rhythm 0" by Marina Abramović or “Helena & El Pascador” Marco Evaristti are just two examples.
- progrus 4y agoYep, this insanity is only matched by the deference shown by e.g. the NYTimes to SBF. Compare how Apple is responding to Elon’s political-speech Jihad, vs. the complete lack of response to the child exploitation material that he has been purging from Twitter. Wake up, you have been conditioned to accept a corrupt, misanthropic oligarchy.
