    Ya, some things come to mind I’d normally call victim blaming but she basically invited people to fuck with her. If being assaulted in multiple ways didn’t cross her mind she was living in a fantasy world. Groups of people are terrible, the larger the group the more terrible they are. One person will push a boundary and then another will take it further, so on and so forth until it’s just… Mob mentality is a real thing and it’s not when you see the best of humanity.

      I mean - that’s the point though, right?

      She probably knew it would be bad, it went further than she expected. It’s still art.

      Like how you climb a mountain, it goes bad, you lose a hand but survive, no (sane) person is like, “good.”

      The point of this art is to show what humans become when they reduce a fellow person to an object.

      Every person that harmed her in any way is fundamentally a bad person, but also shares a quality with all of us in that we can all choose to become that person at any time.

      The goal of art like this is to get people to reflect upon these innate mentalities, not hopeful denial of their existence.
