This is a community for art in any medium. Welcome!
Rules:
- This is a community to discuss all things related to art. Posts should be relevant to art, such as sharing art or news about art. To clarify, when we say "any medium," this includes media such as painting, film, music, literature, performance, video games, etc.
- Keep things civil. Critiquing art is fine but attacking other users for their opinions is not.
- Avoid excessive self-promotion. Yes, this is subjective and will be based on how popular this community becomes overall. If you can see a post about your own work on the first few pages, don't post another.
- Follow site-wide rules

MODERATORS
"Artists" who promote violence should spend their free time in jail.
So all government officials then? Unless your government has never declared war on another country and only participated in defensive wars for their lands, ofc.
You know, I could actually get behind that somewhat. Until your country gets taken over by fascists/communists and violent opposition is not only desired but should be encouraged via revolutionary anthems.
Let's reach another compromise: lemmy users whose opinions I deem retarded should spend their free time reincarnating.
Do you even read, bro?
What if it’s the kind of violence you agree with?
I don't agree with violence. What kind of dumb take is that?
So you don’t agree with some people pointing a gun at a person, restraining them, and taking them to a new location against their will? Then how do you expect these artists to end up in jail? Ask politely?
State violence is violence, even if you believe it’s justified
Why would anyone point a gun at anyone?
That is how people tend to be arrested
No. The police over here don't have any weapons at all. There's rarely any violence or any enforcement during arrests. The police officers just tell you to follow them into their car and you do what they said. That's how civilised societies work.
Yes you do. It might be a small group, or even just a single person. To say otherwise as an obvious lie
Wut? Stop abusing drugs.
Who defines the difference between promoting and discussing via the art? Not you, certainly, since you weren't able to predict that difficulty and account for it in your comment.
I'd give you the usual lecture about the value inherent in social catharsis via music and literature in specific, and the arts as whole, but it's blatantly obvious you didn't come here for even polite discourse, much less the thoughts of anyone but yourself.
So, you know, enjoy being you.
What discourse? You're defending violence, there's no discourse.
