Don't you have anything better to do? Isn't there something you like that you could be celebrating rather than impotently whining about something you don't? Are you well?
Here, by the way, is everything reason has to say about aesthetic preference when it's not being wielded by an arrogant ass:
Seriously, is trolling your hobby? And if it is, why us? We are just a slightly creepy group of fangirls/-boys. We don't cause harm. Why are you such an ass?
Of course, I have one aim, the grotesque. If I am not grotesque I am nothing.
I think the lacuna following that colon still applies. What a surprise that we disagree with eachother. Here's how I see it: such efforts to explain with reason what is ultimately, and can only be, an emotional phenomenon are at best misguided and at worst arrogant. There is no reason in what we consider beautiful, and the word "art" itself is so semantically vague that I doubt any two speakers have ever meant the same thing when they used it. The contents behind the above three book covers and others of their kind can be summed up as a series of headings followed by a boo or a hurrah with a rationalised explanation of that boo or hurrah beneath it designed to convince the reader that the writer is correct concerning a matter where there is no such thing as being objectively correct. Yes; I'm an emotivist and you're probably not. There you go then, we disagree. The difference between you and I, considering what you've posted, is that you seem to take offense at that. I see it as a matter of differing priorities where mine are no more or less correct than yours. Here's some useful vocabulary for you: Next time you feel a "You're wrong" welling up inside you, consider not pretending to have access to verifiable information on the subject and instead say, "I disagree." Equally, when you next find yourself on the cusp of saying that something is without merit, instead consider saying that you dislike it. If that's too difficult, and you find yourself incapable of not presenting your subjective opinions as facts written in stone, your doctor can suggest a range of medications used to treat delusions of grandeur. We don't require a missionary from whatever church you belong to, thank you very much. If you're only here to engage in what might be called shit stirring, then your presence here is problematic and you'll be required to leave. If you can post constructively - and I mean in a manner with is mutually constructive, rather than the kind of constructiveness where you go around telling people they're wrong and in return they scoff at you and tell you to climb back up your own arse - then you can be permitted to remain here. If you don't think that's going to happen, I'd rather ask you to depart with some grace than kick you out. If you're only here to patronise people, I would ask you to kindly desist from your bizarre crusade and find a more appropriate forum on which to vent your frustrations and evangelise.
Well, you know my dogged obsession with fairness and giving people the opportunity to mend their ways and everyone is redeemable and all that. Wouldn't want to accidentally poison Socrates.
Of course, the whole reason Socrates was ordered to drink the hemlock was because he refused to mend his ways. So I'd really just be following in his footsteps if I persisted and was then kicked off these boards.
A good question paired with a troll--never noticed the Sprout and the Bean reference somehow (I assumed it was from What We Have Known, which is sort of a strange stance that I never really evaluated).
I've always thought this was funny. Leave it to Joanna to have intellectual, highly-educated trolls!
"Wahhh! Why do people like her! She's not a classical harpist! Boo-hoo Harpo Marx! Cry cry Carlos Salzedo! Take some notes from a REAL CONCERT HARPIST, Joanna 'Pop Star' Newsom! Kant! Critique of Judgment! Aesthetic theory! People think she's intellectual, I'M intellectual listen to meee WAHHHH!"
