Maybe I'm just drunk and missing something, but.... Why is this in Funny?

Is it just that whoever wrote the text at the top is a little bit cringe? Is it that the art itself is, I dunno, derivative? Is it something to do with the actual stop sign? I'm lost.....

You are asking all the right questions imo

How can you not be an art fan? Do you like only excel spreadsheets?

Maybe the same kind of person that says "Im not a big politics person" like no you just dont like using your brain.

You'd be surprised how boring some human minds are. I recently heard someone say "I don't care for art unless it means something". As if totally ignorant to the fact that it's nearly impossible to create a thing without it meaning something to the artist. I think this dude meant "if it doesn't mean something to me personally, and probably due to a religious overtone, it's worthless". Pretty sad and boring self-centered experience if you ask me.

I suspect that they mean specifically paintings, rather than all art.

Still quite a bit weird, but not as bizarre as your interpretation would suggest 🤷🏻

I'm not a visual art fan. When I read manga I pay way more attention to the text than the art. Visual art is innocuous to me, it's just there. Like, if you knew someone in college who had a bunch of movie posters in their room, after you've been in their room a few times you don't even notice any more? It's like that from the start with all static visual art (paintings/statues/pictures etc) for me.

Ok, what about other art forms?

I never "got" dance, ballet, neoclassical, modern--that sort of dance. I'd watch a video once in a while, and while impressive athletically, I never connected with it emotionally. Until I saw this. I don't know what's different. But, now I get it, at least some of it.
