That's not the whole point of art at all. It's one possible point.

There can be other points, but the point is to be visually interesting, for visual art.

Visually interesting is definitely not the same as visually appealing. There's a big difference.

Semantics. We can argue that forever. I think it does. If you enjoy the look of gore or whatever, then that's visually appealing to you.

Feel free to think differently. I will not discuss this further. Goodbye.

What a shame. It's not about enjoying the look of gore, it's about an emotional response.
