I don't get why it...I really like this post. I don't get why it's so hard to understand that people are really complex, and not just the famous, admirable art-creating kind, everybody is really complex. And most people looking critically at this don't say "his art isn't good because he raped someone." they're saying "his art is good but he also raped someone." I mean these things aren't even comparable in any possible way! It's like saying "oranges taste good, but people also die of cancer." He isn't anymore complex or otherworldly than the rest of us just because we like the things he produces. And hey, what about Samantha Geimer? Would she be more complex as a victim if she made beautiful art too? (hint: no) Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, but who really knows what happened at those sleepovers? And there was plenty of 'but he had a really hard life' argument going on there too.UntrustUshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03492891578070018706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-81168390596078001382013-09-29T21:36:29.784+01:002013-09-29T21:36:29.784+01:00Thanks Katja - I've updated it now.
