      It’s a side effect of the commercialization of art.

      Artists that don’t offend anyone sell better and selling as much as possible has become all that matters to all the people who enable artists to continue making art and experience more tangible and real forms of artistic success

      Eventually everyone internalized it all so much that it’s a common misconception that every artist has a duty to be as commercial as possible and as such to be a role model. But only in ways that doesn’t offend anyone who’s in the target demographics.

      It sucks big floppy donkey dick, but that’s how the boring dystopia that is the real world works 😮‍💨
