Abstract
In this unhinged rant, I lay out my suspicion that a lot of visualizations
are bullshit: charts that do not have even the common decency to intentionally
lie but are totally unconcerned about the state of the world or any practical
utility. I suspect that bullshit charts take up a large fraction of the time
and attention of actual visualization producers and consumers, and yet are
seemingly absent from academic research into visualization design.
