@SiddhiGal humanity, but I think shocking material in art can be very useful to people, and distinct from actual violence in the real world2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@SiddhiGal yup! Removing the symbol is just too simplistic, ignores how minds work. Using symbols effectively is the best way, I think.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@selflessself Very much so. Using symbol effectively makes art. But using it unconsciously still hits the target audience (entertainment).1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@selflessself The more unconscious the conflict, the shallower expression of symbol needed (entertainment). (I felt I wasn't very clear:))4 replies 1 retweet 1 like -
