chosensilence

it doesn’t clash but i never said to apply this to artists whose work is more damaging or is used as such lol. i was responding to your comment is all.

again, it’s different if the person is visibly doing harm based on their work or because of it. yeah it’d make sense to cut support. but we’re not talking specifically about people like Rowling, the question is about “bad people” which is a spectrum. an artist you like is probably racist due to certain things uncovered? okay you can stop listening to them but there are 12 other artists you like who are racist and you don’t even know, and let’s say one of those 12 created something instrumental in your life that defined your own love of art. now what?

i honestly ask why bother? if the art itself contains nothing of the artist’s actions or personal support then let it speak for itself otherwise you have to screen every piece of art you consume even in passing. exhausting. shitty people are everywhere.

it sucks and i hate it, but evil people can make great art. the art itself is innocent (unless it portrays the artist themselves) and deserves its own reputation.

it’s 100% unavoidable. Hollywood breeds psychopathy and Celebrity Status attracts the worst of us and corrupts those with shaky morals.

yes and so does everyone. you literally cannot avoid it, stop caring. you will drive yourself insane.

there’s a spring in my step today
