🌷 2023!

I just read a post about certain authors, and this person was defending the fact they still "consume" art by X writer and not Y writer, and saying it is "valid" to separate art from artists in the case of X, but absolutely wrong when it comes to Y. And this person used the word "morality" several times in the post and, SURPRISE!!! the one they're defending is a rapist. I know people can be really stupid but the hypocrisy here... 🫩

Finding out something like that about someone you admire is horrible, and people with common sense know that readers, who read those books unknowingly (but even otherwise), have absolutely nothing to do with any crime. So, this person could have said something like that; "I can't help that I like a book that I read not knowing the author did something horrible." But instead they went out of their way to defend the "morality" of engaging with art by X and not Y. Mind you, X raped women and Y is unlikable.

and yes this will remain vague because it's MY blog 🚬
