You guys seem to be enjoying engaging with my comments so i'll leave 'em up there.
Art is indeed completely subjective, and that encompasses my subjectivity on what I find to be artistic, too. I play a lot of sim games hence being subbed to r/CitiesSkylines, and never feel like i'm making art when playing them. It's more akin to a paint by numbers sort of deal, inside a heavily restricted framework as opposed to a free and open form of creativity. I don't personally see any artistic value in that, which is fine. My biggest error in that thread was forgetting that in the eyes of those people it is art, and I had some good back and fourth with people who didn't get upset, smash the downvote button and call me an idiot.
Should've posted it in r/unpopularopinion though lol.
