Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Is the train okay? oh my god he really did die. i thought that comment was a joke. The “Fearless Girl” statue doesn’t belong there in the first fucking place–the sculpture is standing in front of a piece of guerilla art about the stock market crash. The placement of the Fearless Girl statue recontextualizes the other artist’s sculpture (Charging Bull) without his consent, turning the guerilla art that he created in light of America’s troubles into a symbol of evil. This sculpture of a girl was put here and is ruining the art that someone created–and when he rightfully tries to speak on the fact that his art and reputation is being re-contextualized without his consent to make him seem like a villain, he’s called out as being “afraid of women taking up space” This is a fucking white nonsense sculpture. It was literally commissioned by State Street Global Advisors–it’s a bid by big business to see progressive, and they’re stomping all over the work of an artist who had to actually fight to have his art put there, instead of being funded by an investment management place that wants to seem Feminist™. Fearless Girl is everything that’s wrong with propaganda and White Feminism and here you are talking shit about a guy who died even though he had a point–the Fearless Girl statue downgrades and ruins Charging Bull. Oh and HERE’S A LINK TO INFO ABOUT IT, AND ABOUT HOW THE COMPANY THAT FUNDED THIS STATUE JUST TO SEEM PROGRESSIVE ONLY HAS 3 WOMEN ON ITS BOARD–AND HOW IT’S PEAK LIBERALISM TO ONLY CARE THAT WOMEN BE IN CHARGE OF THE SAME OPPRESSIVE POWER STRUCTURES THAT MEN ARE. this website is great because this post tricks you into being happy he died at first, then theres the big twist and you have to have a regular healthy response to a human being dying again I mean, even if I didn’t know the story behind this stupid little girl statue I still wouldn’t be happy he died. That is a human life, gone forever, what is there to be happy about? The only ‘sin’ I can attribute to him is that he dared fight back when someone changed the meaning of his art and making his bull seem like a villain. The fact that people were happy he died is really sickening, even if he was being petty, grow up. -- source link
