--> if the primary purpose of art is to reflect beauty and moral truth

--> and if beauty and truth are associated with one another

--> but violence, as ugliness, implying its antithesis, and the consumption of violent art as therefore a yearning towards beauty and righteousness via its opposite

--> therefore it is perfectly concordant with moral aspiration to consume violent art

--> we should consume violent art
