Saw an artist who drew catgirls and my thoughts immediately went to this chamber

Sorry to spam, but felt the need to share.<br><br>So, I was randomly browsing Twitter and saw an account talking about an artist named Georg Grosz. He apparently was a German artist who liked to criticise the culture of his time, and often used drawing as a way to do this, and his work often took the form of satirical pieces. <br><br>Now, some of his work is quite graphic, sexualising women etc, so I don't agree with all of it, but I just want to note that we would be quick to interpret the problematic side of his work if it was created today. Instead, when you look at his historical context, you can see the point he was trying to make within those pieces as a critique of the societies he was in.<br><br>When I saw his work, my first thought was 'this guy would be doing catgirls if he was alive today'. <br><br>Now, for anyone who hasn't been following this chamber, there's a lot of artists out there, still doing catgirls, and while there's a lot of critique of the more popular artists who do them, there's still a lot who do them, and don't think about the societal implications of their work. <br><br>Now, I'm not comparing Grosz to the modern catgirl artists, I don't have that much sympathy for them. But I did think it was a really interesting parallel to note that there's a lot of artists who like to have a go at critiquing society, but won't critique the ethics of their own work, and in fact, their work might even be problematic. <br><br>Just something I thought was interesting to share, think you guys might appreciate it since you're likely following this same thread of thought.
