Circumstantial

I'm in a fandom and a lot of people there want the artist we stan to talk about Palestine and they're making so many performative videos breaking posters and burning photos of the artists for not being vocal about this issue but my thoughts are always "why are you so desperate for approval from celebrities? Why do you need them to believe the same things as you? Is their support for the cause going to achieve any positive change than, let's say, support from actual politicians and activists? Why are you holding them to a higher standard than you are for yourself or others around you? Do you tell your friends and family to also be vocal? Do you cut ties with them if they don't? Do you participate in boycotts and reach out to your local politicians? Do you pressure them to do something?" The answer to most of it is no. It's purely a performance, they act so upset when they themselves don't do anything other than complain online.

Did a school visit today and asked a group of 8th graders if they could define the term "contemporary art" for me [for context, I work at a contemporary art museum], and one of them said "Is it art that's made with contempt?"
