      Banned in Maine, it’s very jarring crossing the border into NH or MA

  Change the simple tag to a mural, but it’s being done with spray paint cans by someone in a hoodie and it’s perfect.

  <personal anecdote about a cop being a bastard >

  I once was grounded as a teenager for calling a cop that went to church with my parents a coward for pulling a gun on a teenager who was tagging an alley wall. His defence was “the kid could have used it as a weapon and thrown it at me” which just made me laugh while saying he’s a whiny piece of shit if he’s thinking a teenager wielding a spray can is a threat deserving of pulling a gun. And that was when I would say was my “republican Christian good boy” phase.

  I mean, when the graffiti is just a poorly scribbled “name,” it just looks as trashy as the ads. I’d much rather see some actual art being sprayed on shit. Especially if it covers up an ad.

    This has been my evolution as well.

    • graffiti is wrong

    • graffiti is fine. Free expression is important.

    • graffiti is fine, but don’t suck at it

      Another bit of nuance: where is hugely important. Graffiti on a random building or overpass? Go ham. On something natural or historically important? Absolutely shit thing to do

      Yeah, I’ve had almost exactly the same evolution except I’ve added a fourth point

      • the sloppiest graffiti is better than the classiest ad

      I don’t have to like every tag, but I basically appreciate them all. I’m just happy to see actual people expressing themselves in my spaces instead of just brands. Unless we’re talking about a hateful symbol I don’t even mind someone from just writing “skeazy” on a mailbox in one swipe. Thanks for giving me a break from the ads, Skeazy.

  I actually like that the graffiti in this is just a simple tag rather than a full mural or a more complicated piece that conforms to our conception of “art.”

  I would argue that it’s just barely stepping out of the ideology of who is allowed to express themselves in public to condone only “good” graffiti.

  The real liberation is imho letting even “bad” artists express themselves, even if all they’re saying is “I was here.”

  While billboards are unsightly, business signage within municipal code is perfectly reasonable in my opinion. I don’t agree with vandalizing owned/inhabited businesses though. Likely hardworking little guys can receive tickets for not cleaning it up. Don’t paint shit that isn’t yours.

    You’re literally being the cop in the comic.

      Am I? Am I literally being the cop in the comic? Or do you just like to feel like you’re the graffiti artist when you haven’t been outside since March of 2019. You fucking pansy ass keyboard warriors are delusional to the outside world. You’re a joke.

    It’s called the social contract. If you won’t abide by the agreed upon terms, I can’t be expected to either.

    • Spooge@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      But they literally are abiding by the contract. That’s how signage code works.

  I especially love the ones they put on road so you can gst distracted by them when first learning how to drive.
