    I think you have a backward view of what sexism in the 60s looked like, and at this point can’t tell if you’re trolling, since Nicholas Chauvin was a fictional character.

    And my god man, I have no beef with Picasso and never said no one should appreciate Picasso’s works. I was arguing with you:

    I’m pretty sure that if you asked Picasso, if he were alive of course, that he would heavily protest the discrimination and encourage anyone mature enough to view his works.

      Nicholas was most certainly not a fictional character. Try getting an actual official Chauvin family tree ancestry and read over it. You’ll see.

        “Most certainly” according to what source? Every source I see says there’s zero historical evidence he ever existed, and many stories attributed to him have been traced to other actual historical figures.

        Responding to your other comment here, I think you’re just completely missing the point. Again, I’m not saying no one should appreciate Picasso’s art. I’m saying that way back in the before-times, when we were talking about an art installation that challenges gender discrimination, you said Picasso would “heavily protest the discrimination,” but based on all available evidence, that’s what the French call “horseshit.”

        And Karen is already in the dictionary. I know some Karens who are lovely people and who could care less about its common usage.

          Every source you see has also been tainted by Derek’s horrible actions and the nature of the internet to corrupt information.

          Like I said, get an official Chauvin family ancestry book (you know, those things made with paper), and read over the family tree, before the era of digital corruption.

          My late grandmother had the official ancestry book.

          There are other sources of information besides our now half bot/AI corrupted internet.

            And of course, the Battle of Schrute Farms was the northernmost battle of the Civil War.

              What does that (or even some of my own comments) have anything to do with the price of weed in Colorado? Whether you’re telling me the truth, or just trying to bullshit me, doesn’t matter.

              My point is very simple, and nobody seems to be getting it now. Drop the prejudice words already. We don’t live in the 1800s, and honestly none of us ever did.

              We’re descendants of our ancestors. We didn’t get to pick where we were born or in what year, or by what family name, but we can try dropping the discrimination of centuries past.

              Continuing to use derogatory words and even references from back then only propagate the discrimination.

              When any group uses offensive words and tactics against any ‘opposite’ group, they’re just propagating the problem.

              My whole point is people should stop doing that, and realize they’re only propagating the problem.

              All people are created equal. Men, women, light or dark. All born equal and should generally be treated as such. Yes some grow up to be bad apples, but damn, when they’re long dead, don’t blame their descendants.

              Break the cycle.

              Edit: My starting point was basically that any and all mature adults should have every right to visit any museum they want. It’s artwork and artifacts, not a brothel.
