Re: the Cuphead discussion, it makes infinite more sense to link to a well-thought article then simply reference the lack. The ultimate point is that the creators' attitude of "It’s just visuals and that’s about it" can't be the way we engage arthttps://unwinnable.com/2017/11/10/cuphead-and-the-racist-spectre-of-fleischer-animation/ …

they have context but at some point in this discussion, it's drifted from what cuphead was actually attempting to accomplish as a work into an exercise in pure exegesis which has virtually no relationship to how the work is actually engaged with

I can't understand how not having racist stuff means it's pretending to do anything. Its just like the cartoons from. The time that weren't like that.

And the context and meaning for Cuphead's aesthetic is, "It's fun and animated." Imagine acting like Art Deco is racist.

Once I drew a Gothic cathedral, I immediately felt a compulsion to hop onto a horse in full armour plate and gallop to free the Holy Land while shouting "Deus vult!".

Let’s all make a mountain out of a molehill. Wearing our emotions on your sleeve and not controlling them is dangerous thing. The aesthetic of the art in this piece isn’t a comment on the behavior of the time.

In 100 years will they look back at our art and completely and wholly reject it due to the rejection of conversation and understanding? Is is acceptable to be selective of art simply due to the time period?

Is art itself a reflection and commentary on society? I think so. So as this piece is gorgeous in itself, does that make a comment on that time period simply because it is in that style? I don’t think so. I appreciate it and do not make nonsensical commentary reading their art

People aren't talking about the comment that it makes on that time period - they're talking about now, and how pulling the art style and themes into the present must be done carefully. It becomes a comment on how we handle racism today - by careful erasing rather than engaging.
