    This. Liberals argue that anything can be art, because art is subjective. At which point the word starts to lose its defining factor; if it could be anything, an interesting debate in and of itself....

    Ask yourself is this art or not? because I think it is.

    I'd heard of this video. Quite famous. Had never seen it. Yeah it's art... The artist clearly had a message and a medium which I think defines art in any philosophy. Wait a second.... why are we talking about, oh art and authoritarians.... haha quite funny, lots of people who don't take philosophy will fail that question due to not having clearly thought out their opinion. Which you would be forced to define your opinions in a philosophy class.

    I actually never saw the whole thing and posted it before I actually watched the video when I got to the part where he "took it out" I thought I was about to get banned.

    I don’t want to spoil anything for you, and it is really disturbing especially with the music playing but at the same time it is an incredibly power piece of art.

    /b/ isn't really so bad. Theres a lot worse shit out there. Most of it isn't on the surface web, though. Anyway, I watched the first 40 seconds or so yesterday night, but then I was like "This is creepy, and I want to sleep soon." Maybe I was being paranoid. Especially given that I watched every entry of Marble Hornets yesterday.

    Didn't we already discuss this on the "Encyclopedia Dramatica" thread?

    Yeah, you keep looking at your extreme gore and child pornography on /b/ and claim it "isn't really so bad".

    I still have no idea how 4chan manages to avoid every internet based law there is.

    How the hell do you manage to show up only when I mention something relating to /b/?
    Ok, first off. I'm almost 15. Most CP is of a comparable age to myself, which is nice. Not to mention that a couple hundred years ago, a lot of these chicks would already be fucking pregnant. Its wrong because its illegal. The western world can't even remain consistent on age of consent laws. In some eastern countries, theres several more years difference. I'm not advocating toddler porn here, but have some perspective. As for the gore, thats not a moral issue. If it bothers you, ok, but if not, what does it matter. Disgusting doesn't equal wrong.
    And stop being such a goddamn moralfag.

    I assume this stands for child pornography,
    which makes this extra creepy.

    Gee, wonder why that's no longer the case?

    Why do you think it's illegal? Hint: there's a very good reason.

    Just child porn.

    In other words, look at it from the criminal point of view.

    You being almost 15 explains most of your behavior. It also explains why you're trying to defend your liking of child pornography and trying to justify it by saying it was acceptable "a couple hundred years ago". Will I even bother trying to debate whether or not child pornography is okay against a /b/tard?

    Oh, and keep your /b/tard language to yourself. You're a 14 year old. I expect you to have some psychological issues later in life.

    @Kal Your ability to be both condescending and wittily sarcastic is impressive. I was laughing and bothered at the same time. Nice quote work as well.
    @Toast If you've been trolling me, than congratulations, you've done an adequate job. What went down in the ED thread hit me pretty hard. Otherwise, I don't get what your problem is.

    At first, I was like wtf, but in the last 2 min or so, I was actually enjoying it. It was pretty fascinating, although I only have vague ideas about its message.
