And then in the comments there's the inevitable "oh so if I take a shit that's art then, got it" dbag response, completely ignoring the actual arguments proposed about what art is
It's pretty weird when people feel the need to enforce their personal sense of taste instead of just acknowledging that they dislike something and stopping there.

people just use it to mean "i like this" or perhaps "i see merit in this"
I think it's useful, or rather, calling someone one of the many subdivisions of art is useful. Saying "this is a poem" forces people to evaluate it as such. That people express their dislike by denying its poemhood is dumb.

I just consider it a short word for artifice/artifact in that it's something intentionally made by a sapient being. Anything more specific gets annoying fast.

Look you can call it a poem if you want but unless it rhymes I won't believe you.

what's your definition of a poem?
My definition of a poem is that someone has called it such. My definition of poetry is "the art of language". Calling something a poem tells me there is something interesting or noteworthy happening with language, or at least someone else thinks so.

Fair definition.
But like, why is it less stupid than any other definition

Why is any word's definition more or less stupid than another?
Having spent incredibly little brain power thinking about the definition of a poem I will go with a slightly abbreviated version of wikipedia's definition until such a time that I forget about it or find another one I like more
Poetry is a form of literature that uses qualities of language to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning
which works for me. I don't see any good argument for calling all language a poem. Pointless word, then.
Eh, plenty of stuff acknowledged as poems are all about sound rather than deeper meaning.
So.

Finally submitted this paper to a journal
should have done it a couple weeks ago, but it's perversely hard to motivate (why not a few more days...?) when turnaround times are absolute minimum 3 months. What's a few days on top of three months?

No, it's denying its arthood entirely; using the word derisively in quotes to imply that it is in fact not
These are very different implications

Yes. And people who do this are operating on the dumbest logical fallacy ever.
who cares if people don't care about art
while you're technically right, i'm more inclined to agree with the person saying those squares aren't art
in the end the message they're trying to communicate is that it is mattering less than two shits between biscuit
well, yeah
because to a lot of people shit art isn't art
how dare you

You said this last time. And then your argument for it was in itself a logical fallacy.
I thought that droll.

Does shotgun mean something specific in gay culture, or
the color choice makes it just the right kind of soul-sucking dull that middle management is the perfect place for it
The heart of the matter: Reddit is worst
What was fallacious about it exactly?
It's not art unless it depicts the plight of the friend-zoned straight white male atheist libertarian and I can buy it with bitcoins.
Fair definition.
But like, why is it less stupid than any other definition
I do not recall the argument only that it immediately struck me as such.
Then I said something derisive about blue poles.
