Okay but also look at the acorns. In Latin the word "glans" (which we use to refer to the tip of the penis) literally means acorn... It could be a unrelated that they look so phallic, but when you look at the historical facts about Michelango, that seems less likely.

Is being queer bad or something, people really only say this when the artist has done something bad

Separating art from artist is nonsense. How an artist sees the world shapes what they make. Picasso reportedly said women were either goddesses or doormats, and you can see it: Dora Maar, his lover, painted again and again as the Weeping Woman, her face fractured and dissolving. And here there's nothing to separate anyway. Being queer isn't a sin to look past. Michelangelo's desire is right there in these nudes, and it's part of why they're masterpieces.

I enjoy art from artists who identify as trans, do drugs, or express leftist opinions. I don’t judge the art based on the person.

On what?

Queer is an umbrella term. It’s too vague. There are some parts I’m okay with but other parts have gone too far. So it depends on the queer person.

Ironic for you to talk about people being vague when I asked you to elaborate and you just continued being vague

Idk what you’re on about. If you want to ask a concrete question go ahead.

What I want to know is what part of queerness you think is bad.

Also, ideally, why

Nobody said anything about judging. That was all you. Judging is different than fully understanding.

“gone too far” is vague. I suspect most of that claim relies on strawmen and media charicatures, rather than actual good faith understanding.
