    Are you trying positive reinforcement with my Internet etiquette? It doesn’t work great when you do it with affective contempt.

    I thought you were being ironic when you said you know art can evoke emotions but you were mad about the specific emotions this art evokes.

      I am trying to comprehend your intent.
      If we are both art enjoyers, that comprehend art can evoke emotions with comprehension of your audience in mind, why can you evoke disenfranchisement while I can’t?

          I try to keep good company without trying to offend my income, so no, I am not going to attempt to disenfranchise my commissioners.

          But you do you!✌️

            I will. My dick-breathing dragon prints are a top seller with judge-judy tarot coming in a close second. People like being mildly offended, just look at these comments.

            Good luck, truly. The world needs artists. I only downvoted you after you called our friend there an asshole, which I didn’t think was cool, otherwise I enjoyed our debate.

            Edit: Pig was about raising people to be disempowered by shielding them from negativity, and how it does them a disservice. I struggle to find a strong allusion to class struggle, since the primary theme is the danger of being naive.

                Did you not respond to me in a new thread to like… continue this debate? Almost like art can trigger strong emotions.

                And here I was trying to be polite, following one of the rules of the comic strips community.

                  I am absolutely certain your definition of debate differs quite drastically than what this entire community qous it means.

                  I can justifiably name people by the behavior they act upon. Unless you like renaming actions we can witness on our own. Am I an asshole for calling an asshole an asshole?

                    That would be neat to see how the comic strip community defines a debate.

                    If anyone sees this and feels like answering, how would you define a debate?

                    Anyway, anyone can call someone an asshole, for sure. I didn’t call you call you an asshole, I said it wasn’t a cool, because one of the community rules is to be polite.
