As a musician, I do not consider somebody playing one note a composition. I know visual art can be much more abstract but there are basic guidelines and understanding of aesthetics and so on. The real point though, is that it’s clearly amateur and doesn’t seem to make any coherent points.

I agree. I think we are witnessing someone who just discovered she reay enjoys attention, and provoking people, and using rape as bait. Which quite frankly, I think it’s cheap. Now we all raped her apparently.

I haven’t watched the video and feel no desire to, but I did read the text, and she cannot write worth shit. If her motives for doing this are anything like the garbled word soup I just read then they are frankly incoherent.
