Don’t feel bad. I decided to play ATV Offroad Fury 2 a few months back. I was thoroughly enjoying the soundtrack and decided to google what band made “Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja” since it was my favorite song on the soundtrack.
Oh a band named the Lostprophets. Oh the lead singer Ian Watkins was murdered in prison. Wait why was he in prison? OH… oh no.
Fuuuuck, I forgot how much I like that song and how I knew all that already. Damn. There’s been several bands and singers over the years I’ve had to forget. I’m not very good at separating art and artist.
One of the (arguably) greatest poets of the 20th century, Ezra Pound, was an unrepentant fascist. His family tried to have him declared insane in order to preserve his reputation.
A few modern poets were. William Butler Yeats is another I know of. His image is somewhat sanitized because he’s an important national poet for Ireland, but he was a rich asshole who was supportive of the fascist movements in Ireland (Blueshirts) and abroad (Francoist Spain). Similar (but less overt) is T. S. Eliot, who also became sympathetic to fascism later in life.
I liked dilbert a lot before knowing that the author is like that.
Is a pitty how you can’t enjoy nothing without the author ruining it anymore.

Don’t google your heros kids.
According to a quick google search, he tried to rape a baby.
Like that’s something I’d joke about someone doing when sarcastically branding them evil… But no he actually tried to rape an infant.
What the fuck?

I used to also enjoy burn-burn by them but now it makes my skin crawl every time i see a trackname of theirs

Yeah I hear ya, I was a huge Ren & Stimpy fan growing up.
Oh no. Not sure I want to look up what he did.
I feel that way about a lot of creatives.
The content can be good when the person is a shitcake.
Actors, musicians, artists and writers. Every medium has loads of public and secret assholes.
Ignorance is bliss when you’re not paying for it.
Yes same here. Fucking Scott Adams man.
