The Cannisberey Controversy

The Cannisberey Controversy was a controversy that involved Season 1 contestant Cannisberey.

'''The controversy was about his piece for Episode 2 of Season 1. The challenge was to create a square art inspired by a holiday. Cannisberey was assigned Thanksgiving.'''

When he finished his piece, fellow contestants Bel and Joe stated that the piece made them uncomfortable and that it could have a secret message.

'''They suggested that the piece was promoting white supremacy in a way. They said that the big white bumps on the wagon would be white people, the "torch" would be black people being burned by the white people, and the stuff on the ground would be black people hiding.'''

'''Cannisberey said this was not at all his intention and that Bel and Joe were just trying to find a way to bring him down. This controversy was brought to the attention of Jazz.'''

'''Jazz laid the whole thing down as a joke, though he did defend Cannisberey. He said that it was likely to be a pure coincidence, and even if it was not, it would just be depicting a violent act of white supremacy, not supporting it.'''

'''For his Thanksgiving piece, Cannisberey received mainly positive critiques, and he placed "High". This controversy has not been brought up since the episode.'''
