But art is about controversy

Controversial political questions and art are peas in a pod. They absolutely belong together...

YEAHH. some people express their opinions through art...whether it be about something political or a small not-so-important subject...so, if people are allowed to express their strong opinions on controversial things here by posting art, even if this is an art website, why should questions not be asked?

Conflict inspires art, strong feelings inspire art, so why not spark some of these things through polls? If people don't like the tension it creates, then it is easy to just click the little x and ignore it.

I say other, I think people should be allowed to and shouldn't be offend by people who do, and ignore the question if you don't like it. There should be a line though that people shouldn't just be like "Obama's a dick - yes or no." Be mature and appropriate at least.

well since so many of us are young adults/teens and have been told what to believe..to have a place where we can speak what we really think is important...besides does not whatever is happening around us affect our art, how we feel about our art and ourselves? is not soem art political or politicized, or simply controversial?

Why not? Much better than silly polls or "What I should draw next" polls!

I love it when you give these polls, because they really make me think, and they are not pointless like so many here on deviantART are.
