      There's a very strong desire to have anything with reflects the past to be subversive in one specific way which is politically useful. If something doesn't even try to do that, then it's a stolen opportunity. Narrowing how people "engage with art" to just that shows this anxiety.

      There's a lot of ways you can use the aesthetic for pointed commentary - it's the complete lack of awareness that steers them into some of the game's most troublesome imagery. Everything starts with that awareness.

      at some point this is less criticism and more "this work should have been something else" which isn't a very useful statement

      Its really not saying that tho. Its saying if you are going to engage a subject, you have to show thoughtfulness with that subject and understand what it communicates, the how is up to the artist.

      cuphead isn't engaging with a subject so much as it is engaging with an aesthetic

      the subject of the political and racial attitudes in cartooning at the time seem beyond the scope of a platform game

      Nothing is beyond the scope of a platform game or any piece of art. There's amazing platformers loaded with meaning and also take responsibility for those meanings. This is the core nature of art.

      there is also amazing art which is great as pure exercises in style. like cuphead, for instance

      like for an example of a work which doesn't take responsibility for aesthetics, you can look at far cry 4/5 appropriating political issues without actually doing anything with them! But I can't really accuse cuphead of doing this in good faith

      I get that there's different levels to this. Really. Of course I do. And I'm not accusing the creators of bad faith, nor have once in this thread. I said the problem is that they didn't know. And they didn't know because they weren't even thinking about it.

      What I'm trying to get here is the idea of mindfulness and responsibility.

          i really think this sort of criticism needs to be further anchored in the work itself, because this sort of exegesis on the racist origins of a particular aesthetic just leads to absurd extrapolations like how narrative film descends from Birth of a Nation or some shit

          in other words I do not think cuphead, unlike eg far cry 5, is actively appropriating political conflicts to generate buzz
