    Yeah but who needs a thoughtful explanation when you already have a cherished narrative? /s

      As a counterpoint, the above is basically just a reframing of “kill the artist,” I.e ignore all the surroundings of what made a piece of art and just look at the art itself in a vacuum.

      The above is neither possible, practical, or reasonable, especially when the artists are calling for or funding genocide and mass death. Giving your voice to such work is itself hoisting up the act of genocide, and that is not defensible.
