The term used was 'hostile', not 'harmful'. There's a difference IMO.
But anyway I would argue some album covers could be considered propaganda, which is potentially harmful to society.
And then there's stuff like the original cover of Virgin Killer by the Scorpions. A lot of folks would call that directly harmful in some way.
There's a difference here that's important about what it means to be actively hostile.
Yes, some types of art in general have a hostile face. Some metal, some gangster rap, some pop even.
The difference is that nobody but the most fucked up people is going around forcing it on me. I don't have to fear getting to close to the cover of Mayhem's "Dawn of the Black Hearts". I can ignore it if it's right next to me. Ignoring Swangas is detrimental to my health. Album covers don't amputate my legs when they come to close.
Sure, I can definitely agree with that.
I was really just making a joke in the first place.
