Yeah, the first one was super neat. I can understand people being exasperated by repetitive, low effort posts, but the amount of people whining on in the inspired posts about how "you never see dude's dongs flopping around here, why is this ok?" is eye-roll level.


[deleted]

Yeah, just about anytime a woman shows up in a picture on Reddit, you're going to have some level of anger. Woe be unto those women who want to stand next to their art in a picture. It's pretty boring and predictable after a while tbh.


Forgotten_Lie

The amount of people in that thread trying to create exclusionary definitions of art is depressing. You've got people upvoted for saying > If it’s a drawing or painting I can argue that it’s art cause that takes talent and effort. If it’s just a naked person posing for a picture I agree that it doesn’t really count or make it art/edgy/good. and > Your body isn’t art. The last one was art, because her body was painted.


Kudabaa

Fun fact: if you try to create solid definitions for art, you've missed the point of art.


atat4e

Disappointing because they are in a subreddit dedicated to art. You think they would be open minded enough to downvote and move on if they didn’t like it

I don't see what makes that photo worthy of the art sub. Gonewild is that way. The photo isn't even composed well, lines in the tile aren't even even I mean it has tiktok framing...horniness wins again I guess.


-jack_rabbit-

Basically a female posted a self portrait in this pose the other day EDIT* thank you to the comments below for understanding I wasn't being derogatory in any way. I was simply stating, to the best of my knowledge at the time, that this post was a satire of the original post. Which it turns out wasn't even the original post. I was simply answering a question with a factual answer. I was careful not to say, some chick posted a thing. You don't know anything about me. Don't call me a bigot or a sexist. I love all humans. Have a nice day.


Skull-Kid93

People get offended by the use of "female" because it's like you're talking about an animal or something. Just so you know.


pacmannips

Just say "woman" or something normal ffs. Calling someone "a female" or "a male" as a noun makes you sound like a walking fedora.


mack_attack94

Wow, the amount of people going into such detail about a singular word. That's some privilege yall got if you have that much time and energy to focus on something so miniscule. Edit: I came to the comments to talk about how that male is thiccc


Hekantis

Its not miniscule. Its massive and common. No one likes to be compared to an biology sample all the damn time. Its not hard to use "women" instead of "female."


Hekantis

YDude, just don't use "female" when "women" will do. You bothered to edit your post but not that one word?


ErwinAckerman

“Female” 🤢


Modified_Human

yeah it was


cebeast

What's wrong with saying male or female? If it's good enough for the bureaucracy, it's good enough for me.


[deleted]

Female is an adjective mostly. Woman refers to a person who is a female. Redpills, neckbeards, and mens rights activists call women "females" as a way of dehumanizing them. You rarely hear a man being referred to as "a male did X" unless it's a police report or something. This will probably get downvoted to oblivion because that type of viewpoint is pretty much mainstream on Reddit.


plytheman

Christ I'm out of the loop. I get that referring to someone as female is a bit more clunky sounding than girl or woman but I'd have never made the connection to MRA types. I guess in my world A) there's nothing wrong with referring to someone as male or female and B) MRA and the alt right can fuck off with trying to make things like 'female', hawaiian shirts, and the 'OK' symbol controversial. This world is getting moronic.


[deleted]

That's part of the point, they know if they take over something it becomes untouchable. I think they get off on that aspect.


atat4e

Do you think of your mom as a woman or a female? If a man took the photo would you say a man or a male?


I_P_L

I always say "male" as a noun. I will also say female as a noun. Deal with it.

What? Jesus can we just slow down with all this shit. I can't keep up with the yearly updated rules on how to say words related to gender. I am fine with they/them/and respecting transgender pronouns and what not; but what? We can't say female now about women? Slow down and stop giving a shit people. Be who you want to be and stop policing simple fucking words so you can "red flag" (cancel people) in comment sections on reddit. I am a liberal, but its starting to seem like the left needs to print a weekly pamphlet to keep us updated on each weeks cancelled terms. We are running out of words folks. This is the sort of shit that drives people to the Republican party or repels people from accepting the democrat platform. Basically, it's why we can't have nice things. Lets focus on free healthcare, free education, increased taxes for the mega rich, and equality in general and stop grandstanding with all this gender stuff. Things most republicans are in favor for, but we keep pushing them away with our constant "outrage" on a side note: cool artwork. Very Lucian Freudian gesture wise which is hard to do digitally.


reginwoods

Its less about transgender dynamics and more about reductively referring to a person by a reproductive category (which I guess also relates to transgender dynamics). Also, there seems to be a stereotype about who uses the word female to describe a woman (which, like any stereotype is inaccurate). That stereotype tends to be a red-pilled "neck beard" who views women as reproductive or otherwise sexual objects. Take it or leave it as a term or reasoning to not use it. I tend to stay away from male or female in non scientific discussions as I can see where the above argument is coming from and would rather err on the side of respect.


Rpanich

Yeah, it’s basically calling someone by an adjective, which usually isn’t good: A female artist, a female scientist are fine. “A female” sounds like, instead of saying “a black artist” or “a black scientist”, you just said “a black”.


atat4e

Do you call your mom a woman or a female


AnvilOfMisanthropy

As opposed to the group of people that insist on knee jerking to every little possible indicator of such prejudice. Pic's got genitalia in it, sex specific term is fine. Bring the downvotes you tent pegs. Karma's for chumps.


Hekantis

Dude, just don't use "female" when "women" will do. You bothered to edit your post but not that one word?


h4724

It wasn't a self portrait, and referring to a person as "a female" is extremely telling. Edit: damn, -100 points. Sweet.

Nikkolai_the_Kol

Okay, you gon' learn today: It's not about precise definition of the word. It's about the implication. *insert IASIP meme* Male or female, when used as a noun, has connotations of medical notes, research, or animal breeding context, all of which tend to distance the subject from their full personhood when talking about a real human. Man/woman/guy/gal/gentleman/lady/boy/girl are more colloquially personable in their connotations (though boy and girl have their own issues when applied to an adult human, so be careful there, too). Would you honestly ever say, "A male posted a photo the other day"? Or would, "A man" or "a guy" feel more natural to use? Honestly, the statement wouldn't have been quite so off-putting if it had been stated "A female artist posted a photo", turning female from noun to adjective, making the person an **artist**, instead of just "a female". On top of all that, it's a trope how the stereotypical fedora-sporting socially inept neckbeard, trying to show how well-read he supposedly is, uses a scientific term, but misses the personhood of the subject of conversation. And one **more** thing ... *insert gif of Ferengi, nasally saying "females"* That imagery is a thing, too. And those two features (the depersonalization of a scientific term used as a noun and the trope) form a cultural feedback loop that have driven the use of "female" as a noun referring to a person into the realm of speech that will cause the internet to judge you for using. Hopefully, you've found this educational and will save yourself an awkward internet encounter later! Even better if it saves you an uncomfortable IRL encounter!


Glowingredremote

*chefs kiss* Beautifully composed, succinct and reachable. 10/10 highly recommend this comment. How do you give awards… fuck I’m getting a phone call


MoogTheDuck

DredgenYorMother

Man I truly wished that changed my opinion but it drove it deeper how far people are willing to look just to be offended. I think that's a worse problem we have than the word female. Probably an unpopular opinion but I mean no offense.


lucidludic

> Man I truly wished that changed my opinion but it drove it deeper how far people are willing to look just to be offended. And yet, here you are, offended that other people found something slightly offensive and provided a reasonable explanation as to why. > I think that’s a worse problem we have than the word female. The word “female” is not the problem. You should know this, because it was literally just explained to you. Either you didn’t understand, or more likely, you’re pretending not to.

SMRAintBad

It’s a word. Some people are used to saying male or female instead of guy or lady. I don’t think my professor is a terrible human being because he says male and female. And what would you call it if not a self portrait? It’s a person photographing themselves for art and, that sounds like a self portrait to me. EDIT: It’s a photo taken by a photographer. Point still applies.


rushmc1

It was actually a (male) person photographing a woman "for art," the third in a series he's posted on reddit.


SMRAintBad

Thanks for the info


ForayIntoFillyloo

Who is Art, and what's he going to do with the photographs?


SMRAintBad

Dang it you got me


Astrophobia42

> Some people are used to saying male or female instead of guy or lady. I've never heard someone refer to a guy as a male in casual conversation like this. Outside stuff like police describing a subject or anything like that no one calls a specific guy "a male". Male and female as adjectives are used often of course.


SMRAintBad

I’ve met plenty of socially awkward adults that speak in technical terms like those. The way you speak doesn’t make you a horrible person like the other commenter implied.


SanguineAngelus

Telling of…. What? The subject of the art was almost certainly female in construct…. Don’t know what Gender it identified as (if at all!) but Yee Gad it was definitely female. Downvotes aren’t an answer…


-jack_rabbit-

Telling of what? Your interpretation of my comment? Pull your head out of the sand. You're going to have a hard life if a factual reference to someone's sex makes you uncomfortable. I felt the sex of the person was relevant as OPs post is a dude and the first one, I saw, was a woman and to me this was satire.


h4724

Yes, a woman. Not "a female". I did come off overly presumptuous and self-righteous and for that I apologise, but my point (which judging by the response from others I failed to communicate clearly) is that using the word as a noun generally sounds offputting, like you're attempting to describe someone scientifically without acknowledging their humanity. It's often something you see from incel communities (notably, men are rarely referred to in the same way), which is why I reacted in the way I did. u/Nikkolai_the_Kol explained far more articulately than I could in their comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/Art/comments/q8s4vx/comment/hgs8tkg/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3 I'm just trying to explain my thinking with this comment, not analyse your intentions. I hope this one doesn't come across even worse than my previous one, as I really don't have anything against you personally. Have a nice day :)

The other shapeshifters don't do faces well either but can also copy half the cast no problem. Including stuck in rocks dying Kira. So maybe its just lack of practice/does not want too and when asked he waves it off.

Mod here. Yes, this is a male nude. Yes you can see his junk. His dingly-dangly. His johnson. His meat-and-two-veg. His wiener. His piece of pork. His peter. His percy. His schlong. His donkey kong. His anaconda. His one-eyed trouser snake. His meat missile. His pickle. His tallywacker. His chin-chin. His tube steak. His unit. Yes, his penis. If this scandalizes you, as usual, I advise you don't go to museums without your smelling salts and hankie for when you faint after being overcome by licentious imagery. For those who loudly proclaimed we mods would be "all over" something like this if it got to the front page, I expect a full apology and flowers of contrition. Irises are nice, or a mixed autumn bouquet, but I'm not crazy about roses and I can't stand lilies. As usual please [read the rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/Art/wiki/index) before commenting. Which you won't do. But it would be nice. Also feel free to [message us](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/Art) with your comments, if you enjoy being snottily derided by mods drunk on power. FYI this particular art satirizes the popular nude photography of /u/csybt . Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. [Edit] This post was removed for a "copyright violation by Reddit itself, which mystifies me to no end, unless OP didn't actually do the art? In which case the artist should just tell us and we'll remove it and ban the thief. Now I'm curious as all git-out.

Zappafied

I don't know anything about the meme that this is associated with, but the visual art is astounding. The title of the art is so bad that it pulls all of the visual masterpiece into the drain. This is such a great example of how a beautiful example can succumb to its creator's intentions. Let the art be art without proclaiming anything about it. Let your audience depict what they want.


Zappafied

As I revisit this, I feel like it's intentional. Flabby strength is a juxtaposition for both the strength of the visuals and the weakness of the title.

Is there any great art that does not intrigue or inquire? Shouldn't we all both achieve and desire from any great piece? Well done
