I had no idea this was a thing, but I made a similar joke about Renoir last month when the paintings were stolen, so I guess I belong in this club.
replyWhat are you talking about? Those are some of the best paintings ever created. Anyone trying to tell you different is probably a fascist or communist. Both authoritarian and hate-filled ideologies that have no place in modern or future societies.
replyRandom fact: one of the socialist leaders of the Paris Commune saved Renoir's life.
replyHitler probably helped an old lady cross the street once too. Terrible people or those supporting authoritarian ideologies can still do nice things. They pet dogs and eat ice cream too.

replyare you serious and it is your actual position or is it also a joke?
It ’s an actual position. These kinds of ideologies hate “the good life” and consider such paintings either decadent (fascists) or supportive of the bourgeoisie (communists).
replyFascists, communists, art critics, and people who can actually paint women’s faces.
reply(It’s a joke. Like Birds Aren’t Real)
I see - sorry I couldn’t tell. There are a lot of lunatics out there.
