I hate when an artist gets exposed for being a bad person and people start the narrative “why would you even want to listen to their shitty music” when are we going to be freed from the idea that only good people create good art and bad people create bad art. It just makes it harder for these types of people to be exposed because now you got people thinking “how is this possible, his music is so good!”

more controversial (for tumblr at least) addition to this - the argument that “people should have known based on the subject matter of the songs” is also extremely unhelpful. Songs can be fictional and cathartic depictions of bad emotions or thoughts and I don’t think they should be used as evidence that someone is bad. If that subject matter makes you uncomfortable especially given hindsight that’s one thing, but I don’t think that should be confused with “evidence” or a sign “people should have known”. I think this line of thinking just ensures artists are going to make much more boring music

there is nothing wrong with being insane there is nothing wrong with being crazy there is nothing wrong with being delusional or psychotic or narcissistic or antisocial or biopolar. those are just the lies our sanist world has decided to perpetuate. it is not a moral failing to be mentally ill.

i have a suggestion

I'm imagining a fortune teller who's also a child so her idea of what a good fate is vs a terrible one isn't really in line with her clients at all

Imagine u go to visit the oraclet (oracling?) and she tells u there's untold riches in your future and later it becomes very apparent that what she was predicting was you winning $20 from a lottery ticket

She dismisses every wedding she predicts as a Terrible Fate because she thinks the kissing is cringe
