āthis makes me personally uncomfortableā,Ā āthis seems in poor tasteā,Ā āthis is somehow harmful but presumably because youāre misinformedā andĀ āthis is actively maliciousā are all different things. remember that
āthis makes me personally uncomfortableā: the work has something that is awkward or triggering to someone, but nothing problematic āthis seems in poor tasteā: the work is fine, but itās about something that maybe shouldnāt be joked about/the work has bad timing with the release lining up with a tradgedy similar to the events of the work like the episode tentacool and tentacruel from pokemon āthis is somehow harmful but presumably because youāre misinformedā: the work unintentionally has some negative shit in it caused by a lack of knowledge, i.e. a cis personās trans headcanons accidentally reinforcing negative stereotypes āthis is actively maliciousā: the work was made with the intention to cause harm
#this post needs to be mandatory viewing because the critique of work always being this black and white likeā¦ #āthe artist made a joke in poor taste therefore they are clearly an unapologetic violent fascistā is like holy shit #please learn how to have a normal discussion Ā about problems without it being 0 to 100
