it's like unnaturally exposing your art to the whole world.

Usually it doesn't work that way.

Usually you expose it to the audience it's designed for and that's it.

But on social media, you can sometimes expose it to the entire world, which comes with all of the interesting positive interpretations and then all of the random people who were never meant to see this, who have all sorts of nonsensical things to say about it.

And yeah, that happens all the time.

Yeah.

Well, it's kind of a bummer when there's even like when it's stripped of there's even there's things like cultural context.

Right.

Like when when you're shown to the entire world on a platform.

Yeah.

All of the context is just like you're going to be shown to people who just do not understand what you're trying to say or like.

The target demographic is no longer the only audience of that.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

I don't even care about the, you know, the meme pages stealing it and stuff.

I just thought it funny that like multiple people that I know sent it to me.

But it's more I was more frustrated by like 80 percent of the replies and quote tweets just like.

A lot of them, I think they did understand the visual metaphor, but they were rage baiting by quote tweeting and being like, what a dumb ass.

There's a guy that quote tweeted me and he was very nice.

He said, this photo deserves a Pulitzer.
