“The long-term effect of such a condition is that gatekeepers (producers/agents/publishers/editors/programmers/critics, etc.) become narrower and narrower in terms of what they are willing to present, living in a state of projected fear of ever presenting anything that could make someone uncomfortable. There is a dialogic relationship with the culture when consumers learn that uncomfortable = bad instead of expansive, they develop an equation of passivity with the art-going experience. In the end, the definition of what is ‘good’ becomes what does not challenge, and the entire endeavor of art-making is undermined.Profit-making institutions then become committed to producing what the Disney-funded design programs call ‘Imagineers,’ the craftsman version of Mouseketeers, workers trained to churn out acceptable product, while thinking of themselves as ‘artists.'”
