Russia systemically dehumanizes gay people to the point where it’s acceptable to be violent towards them. You just give the impression of being devious, disingenuous and cruel when you feign surprise that anyone would think Russia is fascist. For someone who’s expected to be educated, why haven’t you understood that Russians fought nazis, it doesn’t mean fascism hasn’t taken hold in Russia, and gays are its scapegoats just as Jews were pre nazi Germany.

Gay marriage is “unimaginable” in Russia because their “traditional” culture is to dehumanize innocent gay children and “other” them to the point where killing them is normalized. If you ask Russians if Russia is violently homophobic, they’d say no. Most people outside of Russia remember the “occupy pedophilia movement, where they couldn’t find many pedophiles so the country shifted to torturing gay teenagers because “it’s even worse than pedophilia”.

Your entire post is basically saying “gay people won’t be killed or tortured, as long as we can’t find them”.

His entire culture never went through the enlightenment. This isnt the time to invoke cultural relativism if you think human rights are negotiable and should be different for people in different places. YouMre trying to pass yourself off as civilized when you're basically excusing horrific barbarism. The "different values" is the devaluing of human beings based on 3rd world patriarchal values. Try again.

All those questions have already been answered by people with expertise much, much better than yours. Your subject is kuwait. Dont be a 3rd world coward. Art is about heritage, culture, ideas. And the field you're in was basically dominated by gay people so i find it a bit ironic someone like you feels no shame being in a field and community whose values are antithetical to your own society's. You're only now pretending you were here to discuss oils And paint brushes when you're being called out and confronted. Stop feigning ignorance. Maybe you can apply your art to fix your character and failed humanity. "I haz no problem with zah gays...i just deny their persecution and support the institutions that oppress zem". Thats pretty disgusting. Stop glorifying garbage. And yes, there's immense irony in what you're doing and if you were an actual artist you'd be able to see it.

Im not assuming he's gay. Im mocking him for being a 3rd world kuwaiti from a country that imprisons gay people...practicing "art" and pretending to be cultured. It's funny and is his attempt at civilizAtion

Thats a condescending and pretty stupid rant. Of course i'd get downvoted by a horde of idiots. You dont see any irony in someone practicising "art" yet being incredibly ignorant and backwards? There's a good reason for the stereotype that most artists are gay...it's because most of the elite ones through history are as well. So yes, there's a bit of irony that one of the most barbaric places on the planet with VERY cheap forms of art is experimenting in a field filled with people they're famous for oppressing.
