re: #106 WindUpBird

Intending to offend doesn’t mean it isn’t art, though! Manet intended to offend. The Fauves intended to offend. Francis Bacon intended to offend.

True, but I still don’t like it. I don’t like people who set out to be offensive. Whatever their skills, such people tend to be assholes and more than one such person has derived sadistic pleasure from tormenting me personally. That asshole aspect is something I cannot get past.
