8-Foot-Tall ‘Demon-Looking’ Ruth Bader Ginsburg Tribute In NYC Perplexes Viewers As Much As MLK Statue

It is a rough era for commemorative statues, as just weeks after Boston unveiled a confusing “tribute” to Martin Luther King called The Embrace [Of Black Shit], New York City has followed up with an 8-foot-tall “tribute” to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg that many commenters feel resembles a “literal demon.”

This is MSN talking?! Do I have anything to do here, besides fix the MLK statue’s name above? And shouldn’t a statue honoring Ginsburg be four feet tall, not eight?

Of course I have something to do! My blog is the only place you can find legitimate art appreciation of a golden, female Baphomet. Liberals can’t meme and their art looks like they’re -ahem- Embracing Shit.

Meanwhile, Republicucks are so upset about the goat horns that they missed all the important, artistic-expression stuff such as cleavage, plagiarism and, can my dog legally pee on this statue of Demon Ginsburg? The answer is YES!

The piece stands outside a New York City courthouse and was done by artist Shahzia Sikander, who said the statue is not meant to resemble Ginsburg but is meant to represent “a fierce woman and a form of resistance in a space that has historically been dominated by patriarchal representation.”

You had one job, feminist Shahzia. Making babies.

This metaphor was evidently lost on most viewers who instead saw the statue’s tentacle arms, horn-shaped braids, and lotus flower base and believed it looked more like a “satanic golden medusa demon,” as it was put by NYC councilwoman Vickie Paladino.

If an NYC councilwoman says it looks like a demon… does she knows which one?

Others on social media echoed such sentiments, with many noting that such a “tribute” to RBG probably wouldn’t be far off from the sort of depiction her critics would make. As if to prove that point, Tucker Carlson quipped that perhaps the statue was meant to “honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her unflinching support for child sacrifice.”

He’s not wrong, so I better say my piece before…

…anybody else gets a chance to steal my thunder. To be fair, Ginsburg herself looked like a video game goblin… without further ado:

Do you see what I see? At the bottom of the second pic?

The goat horns are hard to miss, of course, and were a terrible style choice because the statue cannot wear a pussy hat on International Womens’ Day, like the statue of Wall Street Girl did at the top of this post.

This is the only colored statue at the courthouse. Businesswomen routinely dress in bright colors in order to attract attention in the sea of dark male business suits… so they’ll be respected for their accomplishments. Originally red was preferred for max contrast, but here, gold was chosen to worship Satan. No joke. Forget the horns/hair, it’s that color of golden calves and Baphomet statues everywhere that is diabolical. Gold symbolizes the allure of material wealth/temptation, whereas Christ and the angels are typically shown in white, symbolizing innocence & purity.

But do not think that this statue will tempt you! The only clothing it wears, is to prevent the male gaze from enjoying her cleavage, the only female curves that were clearly displayed. The arms and legs have been chopped off so there’s no distraction from her tits & ass… the tentacles are mere placeholders, to prevent any resemblance to Male-Greco-Roman statuary. This statue’s message: “I admit to being only a sexual creature but you don’t get to enjoy me.”

What’s that, you say? The statue clearly has legs? Yes…now you see it… those are two different statues! The one with legs is a COPY of the one without! Notice at the bottom of the second picture… that metal support hoop!

An Afternoon in the Park With Shahzia Sikander’s Golden Monuments

An afternoon in the DOG PARK! O sweet scandal!

Last week, the Madison Square Park Conservancy unveiled its latest commission… The Pakistani-American artist, best known for her painting practice that encapsulates the essence of Indo-Persian miniature works through a feminist lens, translated her specific skillsets across material and scale to also introduce the first female subject upon the ten plinths of the Manhattan Appellate Courthouse’s rooftop (there are other female figures elsewhere on the building), across the street from the park.

SHE PLAGIARIZED HER OWN WORK! IT’S NOT ORIGINAL! And maybe not just her own work. Here is a closeup of Wall Street Girl’s face next to Not-Ginsburg:

That’s awfully close to just be a coincidence.

.NOW. (2023), the eight-foot sculpture of a female figure emerging from a lotus blossom, stands out glinting in yellow bronze amongst her nine stone-carved, historical male associates including Confucius, Justinian, Lycurgus, Moses, and Zoroaster. A statue of Islam’s prophet Muhammad was also part of the lineup until it was removed in 1955.

A pity. Letting it stand until 9/11 would have been epic.

With gnarled, tentacular roots in place of arms and feet and parted hair twisted into spiraling ram horns, the figure assumes a fluid, autonomous energy rooted in natural and mystical power.

I say it again, we’re getting close to an eruption of spiritual activity. I went into a Los Angeles bookstore during Christmas vacation with family. Entire shelves full of witchcraft and occult were prominently displayed at the front of the store. As I understand the marketing, that section of store… where you first walk in… is not where the popular stuff goes. If it was there then most people would grab it, go to the cashier and never browse.

The front of the store is where you put the stuff that you WANT to sell, but isn’t already popular. Or sometimes, the bookstore is paid to locate books in that desirable, high-traffic location.

Somebody is trying hard to get women interested in witchcraft. As if they weren’t already. Perhaps the “materialist magician” of the Screwtape Letters is about to emerge?

I digress.

The figure appears again in the park grounds on a monumental scale in “Witness” (2023), adorned with a hoop skirt wrapped with calligraphic mosaic text that reads havah, meaning “air” in Urdu.

It’s the same statue. The legs were put on the one because there was no room for the support hoop. Was Shaniqua-whozit paid for two different statues, or the same statue twice? There might be a contract violation here!

Placed by one of the entrances and across from the large dog run, “Witness” is privy to a large volume of two- and four-legged foot traffic, spawning interest from curious passersby who are drawn in by her warm glow on the chilly, overcast days of a New York winter.

The statue across from the dog run… is PRIVY to a large volume of two- and four-legged foot traffic? It’s not a privy like it’s gonna be, now that it’s supposed to honor-but-not-resemble Goblin Ginsburg! The one on the courthouse roof is regrettably out of range for us males, but the fully tentacled one is conveniently located for… plausible deniability.

Both “NOW” and “Witness” (2023) stand practically naked with a reimagined jabot, the ornamental chest frill folded into Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s (RBG) standard courtroom uniform, draped across their collarbones and torsos.

QED. Nothing says “shriveled feminist hag” like RBG meticulously covering her nonexistent wrinkled goblin granny cleavage to ensure that no man shall ever enjoy her body. There was never a man lost in the Sahara that thirsty, Ginsburg.

But let’s read one bit a second time.

The figure appears again in the park grounds on a monumental scale in “Witness” (2023), adorned with a hoop skirt wrapped with calligraphic mosaic text that reads havah, meaning “air” in Urdu.

A golden woman… reduced to naught but tentacles and her reproductive organs… dressed only enough to thwart male interest… head styled like a demon… and dedicated to ‘Air’. The Prince of the Air, perhaps? I don’t speak Urdu.

The statue is definitely an abomination and not just because of the hairdo. It’s copycat!

You go, girl! You go phone it in, your lifetime achievement for the New York City Courthouse. Nothing says evil like plagiarizing yourself and hoping nobody notices, when the other statue is literally across the crowded street.
