So are paintings that show killing not art?

Is music that talks about killing not art?

Are movies that show killing not art?

Are books that talk about killing not art?

If you answered no to any of those questions, then that's a double standard.

And if you don't want to have a debate on it, don't post your opinion in a forum.

He said it shouldn't be joked about.

So unless the painting was a joke.

Good luck with that. It's like the punchline to most jokes.

What do you think of this? Let us discuss.

I agree. That is very snobby. I believe anything that took lots of hard work and effort is art, which includes video games. They take lots of difficult, but fun, work.

Well, when he named the video games he doesn't consider art, he didn't mention that it had to be a joke.

He just said that violence shouldn't be joked about in a later post.
