"A Product of an Overwhelmingly White, Straight European and Male Cadre"

Also people on DeviantArt want to make art, or rather most of them just want to make art. And if Art is their end, then they are going to pursue what is needed to make art. So it should be good in some manner.



Indeed, it does.



Indeed. And they cannot even keep consistent character models.

I remember the first time I heard of Steven Universe and I looked it up. I immediately thought "this is like some 8-bit theatre animated short from the early 2000s, how did this get produced, the art is atrocious!" with my second thought being "every single cartoon I saw in the 80s had better artwork than this, how is it possible that people are actively making this degeneracy?" Steven Universe seems to simply prove that the bongos must destroy all beauty and aesthetic sense even in children's cartoons.

Strange, the art style seemed passable at first to me. And it still seems kind of meh. And I can see how you'd think that, this does seem to follow a pattern, though to me this looks like either nepotism, or the Dilbert Principle in action. And I am going to admit something, ever time you or someone else use the term "Bongo", I keep thinking of that "Civilization" song. And hell, thinking about it, being in the Congo might be preferable to being around those Bongos.

Hey @The Name of Love I have a question for you, as you're in the Distrubitist's orbit. You think he's right about the silver lining regarding this, well let's call it what it is, a soft censoring.

That the one upside about this cancellation of Western Art means that those who teach it are NOT the political activists who despise all things Western? Unless I misunderstood his telegram.

Oxford joins in on the "Diversifying" of Classical Education, this time it's Homer and Vergil.

Making Homer and Vergil Optional at Oxford Won't 'Diversify' Classics

But what good, I ask, is an Oxford (or Cambridge) education without the requirements that cultivate expertise? What is the point of pigeonholing yourself into Classics for three or four years if you never study its most important works? In other words, without Homer and Vergil, why should a student apply to study Classics at Oxford, instead of applying for, say, a liberal arts degree in America? If Oxford removes the basic building blocks of its Classics degree, the entire structure may come tumbling down.

It's an excellent question posed, and highlights how self-harming this is for prestigious universities. Without the classics, and the very best understanding of classical education, what makes places like Oxford or Cambridge special?

I think Oxford and Cambridge are going to have to find that out the hard way... Good Lord will I be glad when this Femminist-Marxist nonsense gets put into its grave.

Hopefully, if everything goes well, we can keep pulling the West back towards the Right. Or at least towards something less crazy. Although it would be nice if the Conservatives actually managed to conserve things for a change.
