>>7938726 I feel your expectation of your own art is what matters most. That being said, I wouldn't mind if someone gave me a little kiss on the pecker
Yeah it's a cope because only the audience that enjoys the first great value ah cake is also going to enjoy the second one that had a lot more time and quality ingredients put in. An audience that only eats the second cake isn't going to eat the first one at all. In other words, it's a cope by a beg whos audience doesn't care about art as much as the reddit humor that makes them all smile like re-tards
>>7938726 extravagant cakes usually taste like shit and only fat retards would try to consume it all. the artist should be placing a plate of eggs and bacon if they wanted to compete with the cake.
>>7938726 Depends. For art, things that people look at for a few moments to appreciate, yeah it's probably an apt comparison. If we're talking things like videogames, or videos, or a product that costs money, things that take more of an investment (whether time or money)... not so much - people can only eat so much cake, and eventually there's not enough room on the table for all the cake people are trying to cram on there, and eventually people get sick of eating nothing but cakes and want something else.
>>7938726 It is cope and is inaccurate; there should be hundreds of fancy cakes on that table that the guy is bringing his mediocre cake to. There is no reason to ever eat a bad imitation of a better cake when the better cake is there and there is much more where that came from.
>>7938726 It’s hyper cope, there is an absolute oversupply of art, if there isn’t something very distinctive and attention-grabbing about your work then it will just be invisible.
you guys should really try going to a doujin event in japan, there's so many things that would be considered trash by the standards of /ic/ and other normies that can sell out for just being cute enough
>>7938900 There’s a difference between a simplified style and actual /beg/ art. /beg/ art is basically defined by its failure to be appealing. /ic/ doesn’t just reflexively shit on all simplified styles.
>>7938726 it’s mostly cope desu in truth two cakes only applies when the cakes are somewhat even in quality and/or if the elements they share are still slightly different. e.g. both cakes have strawberries but maybe the little shitty cake has fresh juicy sweet berries and the big one has caramelized berries. stuff like that
>>7938726 As long as your art isn't complete shit or you're not a massive cunt picking fights with the audience or artists who mog you so hard it's not even funny the audience will generally like whatever you throw at it.
Now in practice the audience never saw your cake because there's forty of them and yours is 37th. Maybe it was good, I don't know, maybe you're the fifth best cake maker and the lineup is padded with random bullshit because others paid the jury off or entered a dozen AI cakes, but the audience fucked off ten cakes before yours and never even got to compare it to anything.
>>7938735 What you need is a bunch of "certified cakelovers" that will stand at the table and tell everyone that the small cake is "quite tasty actually".
>>7938726 Nobody cares why the cakes were made. Nobody remembers who made the cakes. Nobody remembers the cakes when a third cake is plopped in front of them 5 minutes later.
>>7939417 What about a bunch of assholes from New Jersey that keep it real and let everyone in the vicinity know that whoever brought the small cake in to party should be ashamed of themselves, then gesture to it and the big cake and be like "Camm awnnnnn, I mean look at dat ting! Ah cam awnnnnnn, are ya fawkin kiddin me?"
>>7938726 It's more like the audience walks past and spends a quarter second looking at each cake, have some spur of the moment instinctual gut reaction at the nigh subliminal message, and either stay indifferent, or go "heh I like cake" without inspecting what the cake actually is, and then continue walking and forget five seconds later they ever saw the cake
