Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Michelangelo's David is a depiction of a nude man.
Furthermore, Piss Christ, the controversial photo of a crucifix suspended inside urine is also art.

Again, you are not the arbiter of what is art.
And you are saying some things about yourself that are quite hard to believe, like how your personal inbox was filling up with complaints over this.
Nobody but you is discussing what is or is not art.
You above:

Then you pasted an image underlining how it is a depiction of a porn set, which surely implied that you were saying it isn't art.
So is it art or not?
Art or Not Art doesn't decide if it stays up in public.
Let's look at the instant replay.
Look at that. I didn't say it wasn't art. Wow.
Okay. No they don't. Because they are art.
