A.R. MoxonIf I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.
It would not only change the meaning of Guernica as an artistic piece from a protest of war to a tool of oppression, but it would fundamentally change what the collaboration between the art and the viewer is, and it would fundamentally change the relationship between viewer and artist.
Anyway HP was once a boarding school/ fantasy story about a boy finding himself embroiled in a wizarding world with an antifascist message, and you could discuss how successful it was at delivering that story (ok imo) and message (not ok imo).
Now it is a tool of fascist oppression. The end.
Sometimes it’s complex. This time it’s not. It’s really not. She’s taking the money and using it to oppress, terrorize, and kill an already oppressed minority currently already being terrorized and killed.
I will not be interacting further with any people unwilling or unable to engage with the actual points being made who nevertheless insist on replying. Thanks and goodnight.
