From my end, as I said specifically, I did not wish to assume, but as I also said, I do find it very much in bad faith to seek out a very specific discussion amongst a specific group, then make your entire argument that it is wrong because they are not talking about another issue all together.
Which as I also said, is a common enough tactic with some groups that it is enough for me to raise eyebrows.
Your believes, yes. Your intentions, I don’t know personally. You seem to hold a very specific grudge towards something that by all accounts of your own description, you should be all for. Yet you keep using very distinctive worlds and an almost conspiratorial view of some global cabal of people you don’t seem to like.
That is fair, it can be interpreted differently.
I do want to touch on this because I find it interesting, but as mentioned, art can be incredibly subjective. There are pieces, especially in post-modern that people can find absolutely ridiculous, but often the point is for people to get a reaction and talk. That isn’t to say there are things that are just, weird. Or grift. I went to a modern art museum that specifically had two pieces I hated that I found to be nothing but a scam. One was a naked man filming himself slowly humping a camera(all from the camera’s perspective) and the other was a twig with a rope tied to it. Both were specifically sold to the museum for a large amount of money.
But, it is worth noting that this time of post-modern performance art in both its forms is a massive minority of art and expression. But it gets most shock value so it gets brought up more prominently than it exists.
People disagreeing with your points is not “dogpiling”, and to be equally blunt myself without meaning to be rude directly to you, I am a bit tired of seeing it as a handwaved excused whenever someone posts something people don’t generally like. It washes your own responsibility of your tone and comments away and puts all the blame on the people who just doesn’t share your views.
Loras specifically spoke about a general tone and group, and has infact been very specific in being careful to put a pin on you. I grew up christian myself and would consider myself that at least to a sort of religious belief. That said, I am fully aware of injusticies done in the name of both protestant and catholisism. And again, simply saying “its just the extremists” is throwing away responsibilities. There are deep-rooted issues within both catholisism and protestantism that needs to be adressed by believers, in particular the treatment of LGBTQ+ & or trans identities.
Also going full on bible rant in this topic is a bit strange, and that you seem to take such a deep personal offense that Loras who didn’t even question religion, just spoke about how a certain political group(not even religion) has problems with them trying to deny their existence.
state of software generated imaging; derogatory, chaotic, lacking in structure and basics, producing abominations in the name of ‘engagement’/profit, and needs to be fired into the Sun with all haste.
