'It's not art because you're shallow idiots' is not an argument.

Functional adults can also draw incomprehensible squiggles, and haters insist that has magic qualia. Like any napkin scribble fully captures artistic intent, but a crystal clear depiction of a concept is disqualified.

It's not art and you're shallow idiots, happy now?

Well, incidentally I'm not particularly interested in arguing with people who are a certain level beyond touching grass for the foreseeable future. I don't actually set out to change anyone's mind, you actually just asked a very interesting question in this thread so I engaged.

If you are genuinely interested in exploring deeper, you should check out all the other places this comment section went. Some other people made some very excellent points. I can't guarantee anyone can make you see art the way people who actually love art do, but you should at least be entertained.

'It is too late, I have already drawn you as the soyjak.'

You never cared about this topic. You just wanna be in a club.

Hold on, getting my "art club" medal to show you. Plz make a prompt of it. You know, in good faith and stuff
