WTF I just read that.

I hate these Roman Polanski copycats. They really deserve to be forcefed corn and have their livers served as hors douevres at some shitty hollywood party.

Dave Choe. His name is Dave Choe. Now known as Douchey Dave.

I got this book at goodwill i havn't read yet that had advice for artists in it, cuz I opened it to a paragraph that basically said this guy wanted to buy an artist's work but when he read the artist's statement he hated it and suddenly didnt want to buy the work, cuz it was so shallow.

And then there's that advice statement from Giger's agent where he basically says "If someone asks you what your work means, don't tell them, they're idiots" Maybe he should have said "If someone asks you about your work don't say anything cuz you might sound like an idiot" Well Giger's agent also said "Don't use airbrush nobody who does so is successful" which is a big dumb lie (Lassen) but I tend to agree with the part about some things cannot be expressed in the English language.

Cuz alot can be said visually that is IMPOSSIBLE to say verbally.

I mean, the All-Father is pretty rapey so, you know, you can give him THAT. He's just getting his Pan/Zeus/Enki/Enlil on. Maybe women just need to evolve poisonous spines so they can kill rapey-men involuntarily when molested.

"Hey can I touch your butt....? OWWWW!" :

::::collapses while frothing at the mouth::::

This guy has no self control, has no sense of decorum or boundaries, and is such a narcissistic fuck he thinks everyone wants to listen to it and will be fascinated by his avante gardeness. In reality he's just a rapey dumbass. I mean if he was talking about a fictional story that would be different but what he did was actually really repulsive. If I want to read about rape fantasies I'd go to fetlife or something.

The big lesson here is...DON'T TALK ABOUT IT. DRAW IT.

It's possible to like what a person brings to the world without liking the actual person. A lot of historical figures that we look up to as having shaped our world for the better were serious assholes.



As for Douchey Dave here, he recanted and claimed he made the whole story up.

I never thought I’d wake up one late afternoon and hear myself called a rapist. It sucks. Especially because I am not one. I am not a rapist. I hate rapists, I think rapists should be raped and murdered.

I am an artist and a storyteller and I view my show DVDASA as a complete extension of my art.

If I am guilty of anything, it’s bad storytelling in the style of douche. Just like many of my paintings are often misinterpreted, the same goes with my show. The main objective of all of my podcasts is to challenge and provoke my friends and the co-stars on the show. We fuck with each other, entertain ourselves and laugh at each other, It’s a dark, tasteless, completely irreverent show where we fuck with everyone listening, but mostly ourselves. We create stories and tell tales. It’s not a news show. It’s not a representation of my reality. It’s not the place to come for reliable information about me or my life. It’s my version of reality, it’s art that sometimes offends people. I’m sorry if anyone believed that the stories were fact. They were not!

In a world full of horrible people, thank god for us.

I'm confused as to what exactly was the point of the story then. He tells a rape story as if it were true, then is amazed that people think he's a rapist. I don't think this guy even knows what rape is. It's telling that in the original podcast he said:

I just want to make it clear that I admit that that's rapey behavior, but I am not a rapist.

'Rapey' behavior makes you a rapist. Otherwise it wouldn't be 'rapey'.

Well, He shouldn't have told such a story.

Couldn't say it better myself.
