Yeah but then you also have artists like J K Rowling who have laid out, in no uncertain terms, that significant amounts of their fortunes are going straight to harming marginalized communities.
Rowling, in this example, has started an anti trans charity that does not accept external donations, it is fueled solely by Harry Potter money. The only way I’m going to be able to enjoy anything in this vein is if I know that she’s not seeing a dime out of it.
Usually I agree, my one exception is Lost Prophets. Ian Watkins crimes were so awful that now when I’ve tried to listen to their first album (which I loved at release) I just feel sick.
From what I’ve read it didn’t begin until, like, after their third album. So that’s how I rationalize it, and I hate saying that. But Fake Sound of Progress and Start Something were utterly formative for me, so I’ve gotta cope.
Noone goes from being a normal, functioning, non-paedophile adult to raping babies in a couple of years. That shit escalates over a long time so I don’t buy that there weren’t signs before then.
The band mates and label etc may have not realised how depraved he would go on to become but there were 100% signs he had an unnatural interest in children.
You can enjoy art without getting caught up on the artist’s views and actions
The way you phrased it makes me feel like this is one of Hitlers…
You don’t have to solely trust your gut. You can also read the bottom right corner.
Heeey, I didn’t notice that. Thanks!
It is, but it’s a bad example because Hitler’s paintings are shit.
This is pretty mediocre. Composition is flat, and the technique is not what I’d call masterful.
I think it’s a good example because art is subjective and liking this picture doesn’t mean you’re a nazi.
And yes his art is shit. But to each their own.
Tap for spoiler
Which is ironically a Nazi quote.
‘Suum cuique’ predates Nazism by millennia. ‘Arbeit macht frei’ is newer, but is also not theirs.

Okay so pirate it, what’s the biggie

TIL Watkins was killed in prison

Yes, but
Sometimes, yes, but then you have this terrible painting and read the name on bottom right say D. Trump
We’ve seen trump’s art style and it’s not anywhere near this skilled
To a degree. Giving seig heils like the pantera lead singer is not ok with me, just as hemingway shooting endangered species is not ok with me.
That’s not even an original art style. I bet if you ask around 1/1000 grandma’s can paint you that.
