It's art, how can people get mad at that? Of all the terrible things going on in the world, an artist paints a couple of elephants on a wall and that's enough for some to lose their shit.

It’s art is it ? Spraying over a stencil, I expect any kid doing o level art could do equally well. Step forward Rodney Trotter

As someone who is ignorant as to the bloke, can someone tell me how a graffiti artist has attained such cult status? I'm happy to be enlightened on him.

It's all to do with the The Emperors New Clothes James and easily be summarized as follows:

Fear of appearing unfit or incompetent:
The courtiers, townspeople, and Emperor himself all keep up the pretense that the magnificent clothing exists, out of fear of appearing unfit for their positions or incompetent. This highlights the dangers of prioritizing social status and reputation over honesty and authenticity.

Conformity and groupthink:
The collective illusion arises when individuals conformed to a group’s false beliefs, out of social pressure. Everyone in the kingdom sees the Emperor without clothes, but no one dares to speak the truth, fearing ridicule and loss of reputation.

Authenticity and courage:
The little boy who blurts out the truth, “He isn’t wearing anything at all!”, serves as a hero for speaking the truth despite the risk of social ostracism. This emphasizes the importance of authenticity and courage in the face of conformity and group pressure.

Self-reflection and critical thinking:
The story encourages readers to question their own assumptions and biases, and to think critically about what they are told. It highlights the importance of individual judgment and moral courage in the face of collective deception.

Overall, the moral of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” cautions against the dangers of conformity, groupthink, and the prioritization of social status over honesty and authenticity. It promotes individual critical thinking, courage, and the importance of speaking truth to power.

Just sayin like.
