I don't require fulling grasping the meaning or impact, and actually anything really interesting shouldn't be fully understood by the artist. Much more interesting when they're grapling with the concepts as much as the audience. However, it'd be nice if the artist demonstrated SOME level of understanding and that they've put some thought into it before just throwing it out there to get attention. It's the mounting evidence that the OP artist gave zero thought beyond the initial shock value that discounts it for me.
