yvannairieEver think about how the purity police always want artists to "do better and make amends" after they're called out (and sometimes even apologised) for making art that they have a violent reaction to, but never specify what that means?
Like... what could that mean? Do they expect the artist to produce art displaying the horrors and tragedies of the things they've been accused of "romanticising"? Do they need to take a sensitivity course? Do they need to submit an essay to be reviewed by their peers?
What does making amends mean in this context? If deleting the art and apologising isn't enough, what is?
