If you have any art or media that you “don’t get” or “don’t see how it’s art” or “can’t understand why people like that,” feel free to mention it (even rant a bit, if you want!) in the comments, and if I can, I’ll figure out what’s good about it and make you mad by offering a defense of said object.

That sounds fun, right?
