>>115646641You don't need to wonder. These people live in an echo chamber where it gets repeatedly hammered into their brains that UGLY = GOOD and BEAUTIFUL = PROBLEMATIC.
They fetishize ugliness to a completely absurd degree. And if you want to draw historical parallels, it was the same kind of "degenerate art" or "entartete kunst" which a lot of Jewish artists were making in the 30's which became one of the big focal points of National Socialism when they talked about "cleaning up" Germany.
The art being created then was completely revolting and grotesque to look at, as it celebrating the ugly, the malformed, the sick and the vile, and it so greatly annoyed so many people that it became a legitimate reason to vote someone into power that could get rid of that shit and return beauty and aesthetics to art in general.
