Ordering a meal is not the same as eating a meal. In art, it's okay to not show somebody flagging down a waiter, giving them the order, and waiting for their food. It's okay to just show them eating. It's okay to just show them fucking, even if that fucking is dangerous or harmful.

I wish more people understood that they can't expect art to be comforting or safe. They can *want* that, but they can't demand it or expect it. Art, as a whole, never *should* be a safe space. You cannot tell the truth and be perfectly safe because the truth often isn't safe.
