This argument is driven by people's desire to disinclude things that are good enough. It would be nice to say "I love art" and mean "I love all art," in that fantasy-land sort of way. Not all art is "good," by which I mean "not good to me." You just can't please everyone, sometimes due to a fair assessment, and sometimes due to a total lack of understanding. Art, Romance, and um, ethnic food all seem to suffer this sort of discussion, all based on the presupposed shared value that it's all good, and it just isn't.
Of course it's art, although I will permit people to say that it's really shitty. Don't get me wrong, I wrote this before looking up what it is. It might also be really good, and the people who think it's shitty could be a bunch of morons.
