How is this "cancelling" the artist?

It's just mocking people for paying millions for bad art.

People make fun of other people paying too much for art all the time.

And what does the politics fashionable at the moment ("We’ve passed through a racial uprising and a reckoning with sexism") has to do with art?

Are you actually being serious?

You think that art should not be political? You must have missed centuries of art as propoganda then.

What does the "fashionability" of politics mean? That people have political opinions that you dislike?

Especially when one of Beeple's pieces being critiqued is a drawing of a naked Hilary Clinton with a penis.

Do you want it both ways where there can be political artwork but people aren't allowed to criticise it?
