You know how sometimes you don’t want to keep consuming media after finding out who wrote it?

[blue, a finger raised]
Sure, people would say you’re having a hard time separating the art from the artist

[purple, distraught]
Well the other day I was reading this book called “Mein Kampf” which was alright, then I looked up the author’s bio on Wikipedia and… damn

    As if you’d know every artists fucking life-story.

    As if not being a religious bigot, sexist, abuser, fascist, apartheid apologist, corporate bootlicker, or war criminal is such a high bar.

    Assume so.

    Fixed.

      If only i said it was a high bar. Surely is not. But you can never know, except what the artist wants you to know. So by your own logic you have to boycott every art unless you have proof the artist is “clean”. Interesting, that a “corporate bootlicker” is worse for you than a hypocrite that’s abusing slave-countries for their cheap work to type a comment to someone what a cultural swine he is :-) You’re just holier than thou.

      Fixed.

      Nope. Not assumed, it’s pretty obvious. Otherwise I couldn’t read your comment as you would sit in the woods, being self-sufficient, crafting wood-figures and talking to squirrels for company.

      PS: Don’t forget the downvote, this will show me my place!

        No that’s not my logic. That’s entirely your own doing. The question of “separating the art from the artist” is always brought up when the artist is known to be a scumbag.

        You’re just holier than thou.

        Barely a challenge with you.

              No, I’m just not interested in one-sentence - replies you have a “good” argument for, while ignoring the rest where you don’t.

              So, have a nice artful life.

                Most of what you write comes from a very simple yet flawed argument. Everything else you say based on that is just word salad, and I don’t feel like it’s deserving of any respect.

                And your best argument so far has been one where you put words in my mouth, so I can’t say you’re doing anything in good faith either.
