Are the laughing women in on the 'joke'?

people like makode linde are the absolute worst and i sincerely wish he had the balls to have himself butchered in public, that's obviously what he wants. one of those pathetic self-absorbed twats who live to spread themselves like a virus and use everything and everyone they can to do so.

I can think of a lot better ways to get the word out about FGM than this stunt. What's particularly egregious here is that this was supposed to be art (hence my question whether the laughing ppl were 'in on the joke', i.e. active participants) but it seems to be the kind of art that causes less light than heat in the end and it has a disturbing smugness to it. To what real extent do Swedes need additional info on African FGM? Is this a learning moment for ppl at right-wing Swedish newspapers or just sub-par trolling?

Natalie Ferraroi love your work. thank you for being brave and thoughtful and creative about how we look at atrocities.Like · · 24 minutes ago near Los Angeles, CA
Martin FredrikssonThis piece of art is painful, absurd, abusive. And pain, absurdity and abuse should preferably take place somewhere else, where we don't have to see it. I think all the hate that is thrown at the artist now is becoming part of the piece of art itself, showing how selective people can be in what they let bother them, and what we can just ignore. We are all having a slice of this cake every day, but we usually don't have to hear the desperate horror while we carve it out.

RE: The cake.
It looks a LOT worse as a thumbnail. In higher res, it actually looks like a really well-made sculpture. If you changed everyone in the picture to frowning it would be 1000x easier to swallow.
