Juni"You need to suffer to produce #art" is capitalist gaslighting.
Existential dread doesn't make you feel inspired - feeling somewhat secure, appreciated and well does.
Sunny Moraine@usako Can you redeem or heal from some aspects of personal suffering by turning it into art? Definitely. Can great art come out of suffering? Of course, especially if one uses the experience of suffering to deepen one’s empathy.
Should you *have* to suffer? Is it *good* to suffer? Absolutely fucking not.

Pretty shure Picasso would've prefered to not have suffered PTSD as survivor of the Guernica bombing regardless if that means he'd not make the same-named drawing.
