If you draw a tree, it's a tree even if someone else perceives a penis. Authorial intent matters. Full stop. Agree to disagree. authorial intent tells one story. But as an artist, you can't create an experience. You can only create things that in turn will give people an experience. And you don't have full control over that. Maybe the tree I drew is really shitty, maybe I only draw penis-shaped objects, maybe the viewer associates trees with penises, etc. Whatever they saw, they saw. No matter what I wanted to draw. But an experience doesn't get to dictate intent. No matter how shitty your tree, if you were trying to create a tree, I dont have the right to tell people you created a penis just because I perceive one, especially if you've already stated what the intent was. The issue isn't one of personal perception, but when people declare that their personal perception is truth by projecting it onto others. There are an infinite number of ways to carve up creative works to make any claim you want, which is one of the reasons why we are in this weird position nowadays where everything is offensive if you want it to be. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
