Message: <blockquote data-quote="EzekielRaiden" data-source="post: 9847334" data-attributes="member: 6790260">Everything. Like, literally, everything.Wishing it way with the word "curation" does not actually answer anything. Anything can be "curated", and "curation" can be absolute dogpoop or it can be sublimity itself.This is literally just defining curation. I'm aware of the definition. My point was that no one actually shows the curation. They just wave the Magic Curation Wand andIt's what several people in this very thread have defended as such, previously (not here, there hasn't been enough time for them to reiterate the point yet.)Every single time, people defend it as such and tell me I'm a raving lunatic for questioning it--that I must be engaging in bad faith for questioning it.Of ENORMOUS importance, and exactly what I asked: Build...WHAT?Just saying "I'm building!" isn't an answer to the question. It's just pretending that the act (or, far too often IME, the pretense of the act) is enough, without any actual explanation or justification.You then actually did do a very barebones example, but it got literally only four words: "to achieve a specific mood." Okay, WHAT mood? To be clear, I'm not an idiot, I know what the mood is that is being aimed at by noir filmmaking style. My point is that people just wave around the "I'm curating!" "I'm building!" "I'm theming!" without ever saying anything about WHAT they're doing with that.It would be like if someone, say, demolished a large section of a public building without notice, and whenever anyone asked, "Why did you demolish that? What are you doing?" they simply answered "WE'RE BUILDING!" and then got angry when people questioned the legitimacy of their demolition.</blockquote>
