I was just thinking the other day, not as a gatekeep but as a philosophical question: Can you make anything considered art without understanding pain? I feel like in order to even make pleasurable art you need to make it in constraint contrast to pain.
Studio ghibli’s Miyazaki (cant be bothered to look up his first name, but hes not the dark souls Miyazaki) is famously incredibly depressed/nihilistic but also makes incredible films and simply cant be forced into retirement. Pain does make art.
I was going to say food, but then I remembered every long-time cook can handle hot things barehanded because they’ve burned themselves so many times they’ve lost sensation in their fingertips.

Same for comedy. I think a bit of trauma is required to be a good comedian.
