This surprised me because I don't feel that way, never said this and believe artists can fail in their creations and produce junk
> 2. There is art in divisive and hurtful manipulation
Trolling can be harmless, along the lines of pranks and jokes. April Fools day type stuff. MTG is trolling, but it's not very artful and it's mostly harmless. You may consider this "divisive and hurtful manipulation" but I don't. It's what people do on Twitter to amplify their Tweets. Both sides of any argument do it.
There are some who consider divisive and hurtful behavior can be artful, such as composer Karlheinz Stockhausen who said 9/11 was the "the greatest work of art imaginable for the whole cosmos" and was widely condemned for it.
"the composer formally apologized for his remarks, explaining that he simply wanted to remind people of the role of destruction in art"
