I honestly don't think that art should shame or guilt-trip people. You can't bully people into changing, we have already seen it all with the radical vegan movement

    Just curious, what do u mean by shaming people? So far in the latest chapter all of the art discussed was centered around political issues and the like, I don't see how there'd be much shaming outside of critiquing or attempting to bring to attention flaws in the larger systems like the government and justice system?

    Yatora said that he felt ashamed after attending the exhibition. He also got massively guilt-tripped. That's not right. Do we need to learn about each and every war happening on the planet? Feel bad if we have more than our neighbor? We got it all shoved down our throats each day every day lately. And I don't see how it helps anyone at all.
    Imagine all art, music, literature, cinema becoming war-themed. Sounds like hell.

    But what’s the difference between being taught vs being guilt tripped? Yatora himself was just exposed to how much bigger the world is than him and his own personal struggles, and yes, that’s nothing to be ashamed of. But it’s disingenuous to say that these works are intended to guilt trip the audience
