Again, I think the issue here is not who ends up being appointed the next AOY by the admins. The issue, for me, is that the admins opened the vote, then retracted it when it became clear that yet another Legume debacle was brewing. If there was ever any doubt about R'osity's abject terror of any art or artist that doesn't fit the prevailing marketplace-driven aesthetic actually getting some recognition, this dispels it. Don't be original, don't be subversive, don't offend anyone, don't make waves (in other words, don't be an artist). Shut up, you troublemakers, and go back to buying stuff in the marketplace.
