Why am I ranting?

I recently had a "friend" of mine show me photos of his self harm and claimed it was "art."

To put it nicely,I was very unhappy with him about this.

The very thought that people are promoting self harm by using it as artwork or using art as an excuse to self harm,sets off every single nerve I have.

I am very creative and an avid artist myself and I find what he did to be absolutely abhorrent and disgusting.

If this was something for therapy,I might have told him not to show it around so flippantly,to warn people of what was actually in the photo and not to take pride in the act of Self Harm and at least try to be humble about the artwork...but no,he did this because it was his amazing way of expressing how great being a masochist or an "emo" is.

I have written this to bring awareness as well as to go on a good rant.

What do you think about any of this guys?

Maybe im just too sensitive to see whats good in it?

(Dont worry dues,there will be no rants at replies or opposing opinions.)
