>I don’t get the hype.
It's hyped because it's a foundational work for its genre. However, being among the first of your kind only makes you notable, but not necessarily great. The "it was good for its time" excuse is bullshit too, since you're admitting that it hasn't survived the test of time. Though I suppose a lot of it is taste, too.

I believe that "modern art" isn't just a tax fraud scheme for richfags, but it does still have some merit. Traditional art tried to capture perfect objective beauty, something that everyone would agree is beautiful. Modern art wants to find perfect subjective beauty: it doesn't appeal to any objective canon of beauty, not even the most elitist or esoteric ones. It only appeals to the artist's own taste, and maybe yours. If you don't like it, you won't understand why someone does. But if you like it, you won't be able to articulate why for others to understand. *You* just do, and that's the essence of subjectivity over objectivity.

Good thing I don't write shitty /sffg/-tier redditcore fanfiction since that's all this thing can produce.

For me it was Alice in Wonderland though I can't deny that some loli just made the cock hard for whatever reason like Schierke

Not sure, I'm tempted to say mended because I went insane in my early 20s and had to be medicated and go through psychotherapy but I still find myself being neurotic and edgy when it comes to people taking advantage of me, especially at work. I'm also fairly withdrawn from society and have no desire for sex which means 90% of my interactions with females are polite but dismissive.

I only play vidya went I'm jittery or wanting to experience *something* that can't be gotten from a book; similar to anime, though those are few and far between.

Nothing developed by a company with over 100 employees can ever be art imo
