This has been my evolution as well.

  • graffiti is wrong

  • graffiti is fine. Free expression is important.

  • graffiti is fine, but don't suck at it

Yeah, I've had almost exactly the same evolution except I've added a fourth point

  • the sloppiest graffiti is better than the classiest ad

I don't have to like every tag, but I basically appreciate them all. I'm just happy to see actual people expressing themselves in my spaces instead of just brands. Unless we're talking about a hateful symbol I don't even mind someone from just writing "skeazy" on a mailbox in one swipe. Thanks for giving me a break from the ads, Skeazy.

Another bit of nuance: where is hugely important. Graffiti on a random building or overpass? Go ham. On something natural or historically important? Absolutely shit thing to do

I especially like graffiti on rail cars, it makes it a lot more interesting when I'm sitting at a rail crossing waiting for the train to go by. It's usually top-quality work and who gives a fuck what rail cars look like anyway?

[–] Techranger@infosec.pub 3 points 14 hours ago

The people who operate the trains? It makes their job more difficult, dangerous, and expensive. Important labels and signs are often covered up, and sometimes it goes beyond just painting.

I do, and I'm incredibly disappointed when passing a railyard without visible graffiti
