I beleive in gentle constructive feedback to both people and art.

This is because art is a mirror of humanity. People make art and love art.

If you speak roughly about art or make sport of criticizing it, you make sport of pulling out the courage of those who make art (despite the personal emotional peril it may bring them in society ripe with such wicked critical sport), and trample it. And it tramples tender feelings of those who may love art that you dislike.

People love different things. The same work of art may produce legitimate loathing or euphoria responses in different people. Down to a simplest example it could be one person loving a color another person hates.

It is unprofitable to hold anyone in contempt over such differences. It is unprofitable, unworkable and ultimately unkind to attempt to construct ideals of aesthetics and try to hold all art or people to them. It will always fail because people love different things, and people deserve kindness in their differences.

An ancient Roman Latin adage on this point is “De gustibus non est disputandum,” “about taste, it should not be disputed.”

There is such thing as art that legitimately has an amoral, or evil, influence. That is not the topic of these differences. The topic of these differences is morally nuetral ground such as one person enjoying a series of notes or chords that another doesn’t, or colors that another doesn’t.
