The philosophy "If you don't like it, don't look at it". Is one of the dumbest philosophies that I have heard in a very long time.
Basically, those who follow this bullshit say that if you don't like or agree with something, you should ignore it or don't look at it. Well then, isn't that a "sunshine state" philosophy?
So hypothetically if they were to follow their own advice and lets say they make some art and someone criticized it. They would just not listen to them, now imagine if a government were to take this philosophy and enact it as policy, nothing would get achieved would it? The government would simply not listen to criticisms and would rule in a recklessly authoritarian way.
It also gives ignorant morons the excuse to be arrogant and be blissfully unaware of their painfully obvious faults.
I bring this up because on many occasions have those that I argued with told me this and others as well, and it is just so fucking stupid. I mean what is the reasoning behind this? Its like that "after school special" logic that tells you to ignore the bully and he'll "go away". I'm fairly certain that a good amount of people reading this post can attest that this is more often than not, not the case.
