Devious Journal Entry
MortifiedHere's the run down on how things have been:
-Furries are pathetic examples weak people with identity crises. Almost always inexcusable, except for in anthropological/mythological contexts. Plus they do grave injustice to non-human animals, which are actually quite cool.
-Anime is a phase of cartoon art that will be mocked for being kitsch and tasteless. It's excusable if the story or concept design is exceptional; otherwise it's generally unnecessary and kind of concerning, given that anime characters look nothing like the Japanese. Tragic.
-Emos are the scum of humanity. They are self-prescribed sacrificial animals, and they intend on inspiring guilt and shame on others for 'not letting them just be who they are.' You know what? You don't want to be judged, then don't spend an hour applying nail polish and makeup every day. Emos are sub-human.
-Fat people art is revolting. Idealizing porn stars is bad enough, but glorifying the morbidly obese is ten times worse. The only worse than fat people art is furry sex.
-Modern art is pretentious, bourgeois and disingenuous. Al Capp sums it up with this quote:"A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered." Amen.
Art is such a joke these days that I'm tempted to suggest that the government should regulate it. Every building should be aesthetically pleasing, every commercial and every gallery scrutinized for artistic merit, every artist given a rigorous, traditional education. Art should be taught as a serious subject in schools. You leave something as important as art to the masses of yuppies, starving artists and shock monkeys and the result is the likes of Vanilla Ice, Roy Lichtenstein and all other imaginable kitsch. Why has kitsch been the dominant force of art in the last 50 years?! How can the middle class and educated members of society shun ideals and aesthetics?! Art has turned into a sad joke, reduced by commercialism to a Hallmark card and demoted to pseudo-clever modern art by the 'non-conformists.' Which reminds me of a quote by Ayn Rand:
“There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: the fashionable
non-conformist.”
And that just about sums up everything on my mind.
