        Crapitalism :(

        That said, we still have art that shits on others. That’s why they all try to copy us. And Japan. Lo and behold, two nations that protect freedom of speech.

      Lol American fine art is literally a way for rich fucks to feel superior and create tax writeoffs.

        If only there was more to American art than paintings.

        It’s not like they make video games or movies or music, or anything.

          Tell me you’ve never seen a Chinese movie or game without telling me you’ve never seen a Chinese movie or game.

      How many Chinese movies, paintings, novels have you actually experienced to be able to say this so authoritatively?

          万箭穿心

          落叶归根

          紫日

          活着

          我们天上见

          天堂回信

          我们俩

          亲爱的

          暖春

          None of these are art in your eyes? You must be one soulless racist to not feel anything watching these. Or more likely you don’t speak or read Chinese and have not consumed Chinese media beyond the lowest common denominator stuff that is spread widely. And even that has some amazing artistic qualities at times just look at 有兽焉 and it’s more serious episodes genuinely brings most people I’ve shown it to to tears.
