Pixel art is really treble, I just hurt looking at it in some cases.

So some people likes pixels and call it “art” and use such word combinations like “HD fetishism”.

But I would say “Pixels fetishism” and “HD Art”. Of course badly made HD content can be bad too.

P.S.: This is my purely subjective and personal taste. Other will disagree with this because they have other taste.

Pixel art is really treble but it can't help it- the relative lack of shading and gradients means it will always have more high-frequency content than higher-resolution alternatives.

In the immortal words of Jeffrey Lebowski:

"That's just, like, your opinion, man".

(Which you admit too, but I think can't be emphasized enough).

Umm... You can find massive amounts of shockingly ugly non-pixel art too. Perhaps you are confusing bad art for pixel art.
