It’s strange that many people don’t consider television shows, films, and video games to be “art” because of their violent and provocative content. But, have you ever looked at some of the most famous classical paintings?
Some of the most famous paintings of the old world are downright vulgar. Nudity and disturbing images of violence such as deities eating babies whole, women having sex with animals, and even beheadings plaster the walls of art museums everywhere.

Do you feel cultured yet? Honestly, these paintings are way edgier than any Ren and Stimpy cartoon. Good grief.
