“Because let’s face it, nobody is going to care if your movie is good if it is whitewashed to shit.”

I see it backwards. idgaf if it is whitewashed if it is a good movie. The people that care about whitewashing are usually the same people that take offense to every other PC issue and dont bother to tackle real world…

It’s a bit of a double edged sword.

I agree, but again, it feels worth mentioning it as an option that exists. I went in a complete greenhorn. I had never played period, never made a roll myself, never made a character sheet. I found a group with a DM willing to sit down and walk me through putting it together and is completely cool with me asking…

Booze.

I feel like it’s worth noting that online play is wholly possible now too. I know some players might scoff at the idea of not playing in person, but sometimes you have people (like me) who definitely will never have enough IRL friends to play with (zero of my offline friends have interest, it’s the worst) and are in a…

I got into D&D last year and I’m loving it. I went to Craigslist and found people looking to play. I called and they were awesome about letting me join. If you are interested in playing it, then just get out there and try

If the artist had chosen to remain anonymous and her race was unknown, would the painting be fine? Like is the “whitepeopling” her taking credit for it or just painting it?

U dumb, hoss. Dumb as stacked tired.

Correct. There is nothing offensive about this painting. If it was painted by a black artist there would not be any issue. It is an interpretation of a famous painting. Full stop.

Outrage - writing a shitty piece like the above. Protesting OUTSIDE of the museum.

you know who oppressed artists. hitler. that’s who.

we live in a free country, where it is ok for artists to shock people.

think about it this way, she painted a picture of him in his casket. as opposed to him bloody and beaten.

also, you’re a racist. it’s pretty racist to say someone that has a certain color of skin…

This is a huge jump. Saying someone cannot have a perspective on an atrocitie is ridiculous. Having a perspective and understanding of a situation is not dependent on race. One not being in immediate danger of the event occuring to them doesn’t mean one cannot sympathize or understand.

That whole argument relies completely on assumptions of another persons perspective, which is the most absurd thing to base an argument on. “they don’t BELIEVE she has any perspective”. Has anyone asked her what she believes? Certainly not the author of this article...

I don’t think anyone contends that she doesn’t have the right to paint whatever she wants.

The sad irony is that white people are constantly called out for failing to give a shit about or call attention to the suffering of minorities in this country. You can’t have it both ways. This sort of contrived controversy is the sort of thing that makes me truly wonder if some people are just addicted to drama and…

But that’s ridiculous, artists are not limited to their own perspectives. The only limits are empathy and imagination.

Nothing in that comment even comes close to that sentiment.

Isn’t this what the painting is? A picture of an atrocity bestowed?

You really want a white person to make a painting showing a black person being dragged behind a pick up truck. Seriously? You really didn’t think that one through before you posted it. If you are saying a white person can’t feel a black persons pain or truly empathize with their suffering, than fine. But what you…

Nothing is sacred. That is my opinion but if people want to believe in metaphysics that is their right. Its not their right however to ban art for breaching someones idea of the sacred. The position that this painter cannot paint this subject assumes that the subject of Emmitt Till is sacred. Its not because…
