    Have no fear. I was trained by squirrels. It was wise of you to come to me. I have a myriad of methods to cleanse the putrid stain of sin from the soul. You'll thank me later

    @@Ethnomusicologist, Yes, but the continued mentioning of it will raise the statistical chances of discussion of the subject which will in turn increase the statistical chances of a debate breaking out about it, which raises the statistical chances of the topic being closed. Huzzah for escalation! [i'm not helping am I?] Returning to topic, I don't think anything can be done about the 'image' of the fandom. As said before it is what it is, and I believe that Earthbending has the strongest point in this whole discussion. Escalation! Huzzah!

    You're probably making a reference to this guy. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2014/may/14/lood-semen-tears-artists-bodily-fluids-rose-lynn-fisher To clarify for everyone, Modern art is not necessarily about shock effect, its just that some of it sorta is.

    I like this fandom because its full of all sorts. I wouldn't change any aspect of it for the world.

    Clopping? *looks at wine* I thought we were talking about something else.

    I have two things in each of my hands right now. One's a mouse...and the other thing is none of your business. What's on my tumblr account is also none of your business. But what's about to happen is both glorious and beautiful and you will never stop me. It's the sweet release I need after a hard nights work, and no one has the right to stop me. Not you. Not the government. Not the false gods and empty morals that the masses bow down to. And believe me...I will enjoy myself. *Kel Grym proceeds to drink his woodridge wine out of one hand while scrolling through http://goodmorningcelestia.tumblr.com/ with the other*

    The quest for what's real has kinda been like approaching the speed of light...you can only approach it so much with visual medium. It all started when an artist got sick of painting angels and greek gods and started painting realistic subjects in realistic circumstances. From there it just escalated. It's been a long while since I've been in my modern art class and I'm drawing upon mostly fuzzy memory, however you may find these links useful. http://www.moma.org/learn/moma_learning/themes/what-is-modern-art http://www.artyfactory.com/art_appreciation/timelines/modern_art_timeline.htm Now I will say this, most modern art is...old. Old and of some historical value, so if it has a high price tag then that's often a given. You know how collectors are. We are not really in the modern art era, but rather the post-modern. You'll notice that in modern days, we don't really have these great titans of art popping up any more...there's a reason for that. The progression of art styles that you read about in textbooks came...kinda full circle. At the end of the road for the quest for what's real, for the quest for truth, the whole meta-narrative broke down and you could say that it was found out in the end that there is no capital T truth so you are free to pick whatever truth you like. Modernism was all about the meta-narrative. Postmodernism is about the destruction of the meta-narrative. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/ask-an-expert-what-is-the-difference-between-modern-and-postmodern-art-87883230/?no-ist Again, I'm just paraphrasing what I was taught by my professor, so I provide the above link for a more concise explanation for the difference between modern and postmodern art.

    You have to understand something very core about modern art. If I could sum it up as simple as possible, it's a quest for what's really real. For the longest time, western art was seen through the lens of perspective. Art always had a subject. But these are illusions. "The Treachery of Illusions" by Rene Magritte. The French beneath the picture translates to, "This is not a pipe" The picture above is truly not a pipe. It was a splattering of paint made to resemble a pipe. But it's not a pipe. It's not real. Jackson Pollock and other artists like him wanted to break down that illusion and make art "honest" you could say. There is an aesthetic beauty in the arrangements of colors all by themselves without having to form a subject. This appeals to some people, and others it does not, but there is indeed an objective aesthetic value in the painting. Aesthetics, being the branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty and art, which can be broken down into either subjective aesthetics or objective aesthetics. If it does not please you subjectively, then you wont intuitively appreciate such art, but you can learn more about objective aesthetics so you can see what other people see in it. And if anything...it makes for a cool desktop background.

    Ok. The kind of art you are describing is part of the modern art movement if you're talking about what Jackson Pollock does. As a bachelor of fine arts, I am more than well prepared to defend this kind of splattering on a canvas.
  19. Kel_Grym
    Are you talking about Post-Modern art?

    I believe in Celestia. She's real. Came to me in a dream. Gary Busey was there too. But let us speak of the brony subculture itself. Is it a religion? I do not believe so. In fact, there is probably a more appropriate way to describe bronydom. They are simply a group of people that enjoy a common fetish. Full Definition of FETISH 1 a : an object (as a small stone carving of an animal) believed to have magical power to protect or aid its owner; broadly : a material object regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence b : an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion : prepossession c : an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression 2 : a rite or cult of fetish worshipers 3 : fixation My little pony is a fetish. Suck it up, cause it's the truth. Every single one of those varying definitions of fetish apply to the fandom in one way or another. For some it's simply and obsession. And that's just it, an obsession. Very relative term. We usually just call it normal fanboy/girlism. For others...it's kinkier. And there are even a few that feel as though there is some mystical truth in the show...and when they get together you have a cult. btw... Join my Cult.
