doesn't have to be some rare city of gold only for the few

imo

being a *good* artist is another story

art does not equal quality

and has nothing to do with the definition

well thats our difference then,

I consider "good artists" to just be artists, and people who arent "good artists", not to be artists

Its a difference in how we define "artist"

thats fair if thats how you feel

but there are a lot of legit artists who make art that i don't like, doesn't mean they aren't artists

again, you are taking the authoritarian view

i'm authoritarian because i define my terms differently?

because you are giving yourself the authority to take away legitimacy of others creations based on your own opinion

You're an authoritarian if you say I don't have a PHD in something I've never studied

but hey, if thats how you think, thats how you think

being a label isn't a status of legitimacy

if you dont like someone's creation and say they aren't an artist, you are taking away legitimacy. i dont understand what you are missing

So if i call you a pedophile, does that have any legitimacy too simply because i said it?

what

lol

ok

this convo has derailed

Its the same principle

If i have an opinion on someones qualifications of a label, theres no claim to any legitimacy

it reminds me of the not using pronouns debate

the mental gymnastics are too stronk for me

If I can use words however I want, and you can't take that away from me without being authoritarian

Its like calling Trump a racist, or fascist, or any of those fake news terms

They're not legitimate either, and just because they said it, doesn't somehow make it more so

i will gracefully bow out, thank you

mental gymnastics, listen to this one

Then anyone can call you whatever, using their own definition

And you can't stop them unless you're authoritsrian

After watching this video, there's just one important thing to know.

Modern art is used by plutocrats to STOW MONEY for tax purposes.

the nature of art is just that though, ANYTHING can be art

No

this is where we disagree

"I bought for this much, therefore it's worth this much, and it can be used as that amount of money between other rich people."

Thats a redefinition

Like racism being prejudice + power

lol

So whenever you see something called Art that is clearly shit, that makes you say "Oh shut the fuck up" Just remember: It's tax evasion.
