Hard-core porno paid for by taxpayers via SNP quango

[IcakethereforeIam]

'dyke identifying' is an offensive new one for me. It stands to reason that such an (ahem) artist would be au fait with gender ideology.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/10/snp-quango-gave-public-money-to-porn-masquerading-as-art/ sorry archive.ph seems to be having a moment.

It's not an insignificant sum of money. The ferrets are reversing. But how can they justify bunging someone so much money without knowing precisely what it would be spent on. And, if I understand correctly, they'd already paid for and seen a taster.

When this masterbate, sorry, masterpiece is...erm...finished. The audience will be told to remove their shoes. I'd hate to think what they're stepping in.

Scotland has a real problem with this kind of capture. It’s example after example of grim stuff like this at the moment.

Oh God - Telegraph readers are already reeling from learning about bonus holes, the male breastfeeding fetish, the cat killer while cheering on JKR. This might finish some of them off 😂

Creative Scotland are notorious for middle class cronyism and shit takes. Shaunyboy did a couple of sketches about them -

Doesn't surprise me at all that they've funded this. And their fake 'we didn't realise' shite - it must have gone through so many people and there's so much available online about the casting etc that it's flat out lying.

[Waitwhat23]

I mean, what the fuck has Scotland become?

An utter shithole and as long as the SNP remain it will only get worse. We are seriously considering a move to England.

Did anyone ever track down the funding for The Gate of Assumption Installation at Festival Park, Glasgow in 2021? Was that publicly funded too?

I'm just surprised that Creative Scotland are even looking into it, tbh. Thye don't usually bother with accountability.

[ArabellaScott]

Also a past show by the same artist was possibly worse than this one, as it purported to involve a child talking about sex to a twenty something. It's archived and there are screenshots floating about.

Are you suggesting @MrsOvertonsWindow that DT readers are easily shocked?

I read the DT and I've become immune to shock after knocking around this board for 6 years now. And the DT does at least cover these odious subjects unlike some, as we know.

Jesus christ, those fucking gates!
The whole thing beggars belief

I have noticed many" OMG, what now?" responses in contrast to the resigned sighs from us battle hardened terfs on here 😃

[FrancescaContini]

That show won’t attract weirdos who get off on exposing themselves in public. Nope. And they will be paid £270 a day to do so, according to the BBC report.

It's not much better here.

Honestly - I could sit and cry when I see what a hellhole this nation has become.

How the eff did this happen?

[littlbrowndog]

The erm participants can get counselling after the show😳

80 grand on this hard core porn. Scotland never amazes me with this shite anymore

[Rightsraptor]

I suspect the 'OMG, what now?' comments just show the average DT readership is a bit behind the curve on this. They're catching up, though.

[IcakethereforeIam]

I'd not seen those gates before. My eyebrows have just shot off into space again!

I'm not buying the 'we didn't know' from Creative Scotland. They either did know and they're lying or they were going to wang away a massive chunk of the public's cash without the due diligence the public has a right to expect. It's not their money, they have a duty to spend it responsibly. Not spaff it away on the first porn sick chancer who asks for it. I imagine half that amount is more than a massive chunk of the taxpayers will see in a year. I hope someone gets fired for this. Several someones.

If the artist wants to create this type of work, I believe there's a booming industry in LA. Fuck it, crowdfund for the ticket. I'll even contribute, so long as it's one way.

I was looking for the rollercoaster zombies, but this also works.

[AlisonDonut]

In my past life I used to have to promote, advise on, collect, score and award funding [and then monitor and pay and manage] for schemes [not creative].

This will have been in the bid, would have been scored, every word pored over and monitored and paid by a range of people. This is not one errant fund manager.

[Cancelledcurio]

There's another thread on here with a couple of sympathisers "art for arts' sake" types. And it was alot more than £85k that this lot got ! They also got cash on two other years ! Honestly, the asteroid can't come quick enough. I am no prude ,but there is bugger all art about that garbage. The child fantasy stuff (if it is fantasy ) was quickly removed from their twitter account. I really hope Police Scotland are checked these "playwrights" computers.

[IcakethereforeIam]

The artist responsible for the legs, Rakel McMahon, may have carried out the work off her own bat. She also may be steeped in genderwoo ('are they even female legs') and she did it knowing there had been a recent sexual assault in the park.

[Cancelledcurio]

@IcakethereforeIam those legs are manky. Shame on her.

[Toseland]

Here's the rollercoaster one!

[IcakethereforeIam]

They are grim. Oddly with the red shoes I did think TW legs 😁

I had a very quick look at Rakel's Instagram (I don't have an account and I got thrown out). What I saw was lots of paintings of naked women in a kind of stained glass effect. If it was her work, it was nothing ground breaking imo but it was okay.
