EDIT: I'm really disappointed to see the that first line in your community rules reads "Art is subjective." Because objective standards of quality and taste actually do exist in art, and because I value these objective standards, I sadly will not be able to participate in this community any further.

"Art is subjective" is generally understood to mean that the viewer's response to art is subjective. This is demonstrably true. If it weren't, everyone would like and dislike the same art.

I'm curious what you took it to mean -- not the phrase itself, but the purpose of having it in the information about the community. In that context, if it isn't a reminder to be kind to one another even when we don't care for each other's art, then what do you think was meant by it?
