"Comfort implies art" is different from "art implies comfort."

Which is to say, not all art is comfortable, but not all things that are not comfortable are art.

It's perfectly fine for art to be comfortable. Stop gate-keeping.

I never made this assessment, that's not an interpretation you can derive from my comment in good faith. I just commented that art isn't supposed to be comfortable, nowhere I said that all art is uncomfortable. The mural is however performing just like art. What if this was an original confirmed banksy?
