I find it really interesting that #bayc holders are ambitiously trying to prove @ryder_ripps wrong so that they can regain some feeling of esteem that comes from following someone blindly and not having to question their authority.
What is going on here? anyone? #rrbayc

The modus operandi here seems to be:

1. You are making me look at this art, and I don't want to, because there is nothing there to analyse
2. Look what @ryder_ripps did, and let me analyse it (wrongly) by saying Ryder is just being blatantly racist.
3. Ryder should stop arting.

4. When u art, you force people to question what they are looking at, and that feels uncomfortable.
5. See, real racism is uncomfortable, why should @ryder_ripps be allowed to do it, why can't I love my monkey picture and believe it's not racist?

Ryder's completed a master move

He's used art to not only get people to get furious over the fact that they DON'T want to interpret art.

But he's shown that unless you interpret art, you aren't really looking at anything or even able to think about anything.

The GREATEST moment in art history this decade.

And to the dudes who are like, Ryder's dad is humble, he's even slightly confused about why he's part of the story.

His dad is not a performance artist. He's mostly known as an abstract expressionist, who doesn't vibe the same way or have the same points to make.

When you've done nothing to understand art.
When you've refused to interpret it.
When you instead try to insult and belittle someone who is trying to help you, it's not art that has failed.
