spiceiron must flow.
I think it’s a pretty accurate drawing, seems like art to me.
Agreed, though it’s A.I. generated.
Wrong, the artist is an Australian aboriginal named Vincent Namatjira, the great grandson of Arrente watercolour artist Albert Namatjira.
Right, A.I. Aboriginal Illustrator.
Ba-dum-tss!
Are you having a seizure?
Australian Imagineer?
Thats better
Another case of the Streisand effect
Its really wierd to me that Streisand effect became the accepted name for this.
For example the 1st child’s play is saw In the UK was 3. Purely because it was banned
Attempt at clarification edit
I had no interest in yhe child’s plat movie franchises until the 3rd movie because it was banned
The first child’s play movie wasn’t saw, the UK definitely wasn’t 3 when you had seen it, and saw was never banned in the UK although Grotesque and several Chainsaw Massacre films were. /s
I haven’t seen a single saw. Just not interested.
Childs play 3 was absolutely banned in the UK I’d rather not link the reasons why its pretty grotesque though
That said I just learned the ban was lifted in 2002
I was making fun of your spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. I never even said Child’s Play 3 wasn’t banned lmao.
I dunno what it is the last wee while I can’t type on my phone keyboard. Pretty suew my brain is melting
Ah, the last wee. A bittersweet moment.
Not sure I follow wee is a legitimate word where I’m from
Can you repeat or clarify that second sentence? I’m pretty sure there was a typo or mistyped word somewhere, and usually I wouldn’t mention it, but in this case I actually can’t interpret the meaning.
Better? Worse?
Perfectly clear now, thanks. :)
I got thrown because “is” came before “saw”, which is also a scary movie, and I just couldn’t disambiguate.
The first movie in the Child’s Play movie franchise they saw was the third iteration, Child’s Play 3; they were motivated to see it because it was banned, an ironic backfire of the censorship decision.
Thanks! Knowing the meaning now, it was the “I” to “is” typo that threw me off, since “saw” is also the type of movie to get banned.
Thanks, I also had a really hard time parsing the comment.
It’s a catchy name and it was among the first examples of the effect in the internet era that amplified the effect many fold. There is no reason for me to know about Streisand’s house and there is no reason for me to know about this painting. I have only know about them because the internet exists.
I have only know about them because the internet exists.
It’s even better than that, even with the internet existing I’d have never interacted with these bits whatsoever if it weren’t for the person in question throwing a hissy fit and trying to get something deleted off the internet. If they just laughed it off and let it slide it would have gotten about 1% of the attention currently being brought to it. We only know about this painting because she was so offended by it that she decreed no one must know about it. We only know about Barbara Streisand’s house because she decreed no one must know about it.
Maybe she could buy the painting? I’m sure the artist would be willing to part with it for a donation of a few billion to charitable causes.
It belongs to the national gallery and therefor cannot be sold.
But then there will be even more paintings. She has no problem with hiring thugs for it.
I’m sure no artist will ever paint her in an unflatering way after hearing this. Did NGA leak this or did she make a public statement?
Ahhh yes, good, shame that racist fat cunt globally.
She is basically the Koch brothers, but bigger, dumber, and more evil.
The only reason why the Koch family is probably worse, is because their influence flows through the American state.
All this is to say, it’s a good bet that after this story dies down, the gallery will quietly acquiesce and take down the painting. This will either be followed by a carrot, or a removal of whatever stick she used.
I have seen stories on this topic posted several times. I upvote it every time and will continue to do so.
It sucks that this unflattering portrait is put in a museum and my unflattering portrait of the whore who turned me down isn’t in one.
Stay humble, bitch.
Now that is art
I’m in fuckin tears
Works perfectly! Her picture should be the standard for this meme from now on.
Vigooooooo 👻
Despot of carpatia?
Gallery art’s such a joke man. Gives artists a bad name.
To be fair, check out the other paintings. This is a pretty good exhibit!
Yeah I seen em. It’s all awful. Looks like he’s got a famous great grandfather and he’s cashing in on the name.
Rinehart has an estimated net worth of $30.2 billion USD, according to Forbes.
Piece of shit.
She is a piece of shit, and not just because she’s a billionaire
Yeah, mining magnate basically means she’s rich cause her father’s company has raped the earth using labor they paid pennies for while those who actually did all the work are likely living in abject poverty.
“Magnate” even gives cuts her slack by making it sound like she did any of it. Heiress is the term that’s both polite and accurate.
Man… You could just fucking own it and be far better off in every way. Just speaks to the crazy ego these people have.
I mean she could literally just own it and be done with it. She has 30B+. Just buy it and ruin it if you hate it so much, like Elon did with Xitter.
can’t buy it. it’s owned by the government.
My bad, I forgot you can’t buy things from the government.
Or, you know, just … The government.
I mean, you literally can’t so, yeah.
It’s part of the national gallery.
Even if you want to be mad at her for being rich and being part of the oligopoly that is creating suffering and impending environmental doom, can you blame her for requesting the portrait be taken down? It’s really unflattering and doesn’t look that much like her. She didn’t demand it, she asked. No one likes being humiliated, and that portrait probably made her feel terrible. There’s nothing wrong with making a request, most people in her position would do the same.
She should create a foundation to called “The Institute for Reduced World Suffering” and make the charter bylaws include her picture on anything sent out, any website, any marketing material, and her photo must be on any material generated by the organization, and it can only be 1 type of picture that she chooses, then she should have an artist do a really flattering picture of her that makes her look nice. In the Institute’s first year, she should offer 10 10,000 grants to those who study reduced world suffering and in announcing the grants opportunity she could include her picture in the advertisements. She could let anyone apply and she chooses the winners. She could turn a strange situation into something wonderful if she wants.
Okay, I don’t mean to be rude, but fucking what
if only i had written “stay humble, bitch” the people of lemmy would like me 😭
