    Luckily for us, it’s entirely possible for anyone with a brain to separate an artist from their work.

    Kanye has some fire songs, I enjoy them; while at the same time I think he’s a mentally ill tool.

      Idk seem like saying Ayn Rand had some good books, or for that matter contemporary author JK Rowling has some good books but is a transphobic piece of shit. Anyone with a brain can separate work from the artist but that doesn’t mean the art isn’t transphobic because you like it

        Harry Potter isn’t transphobic. Atleast the original books, I haven’t looked at any of the new stuff; but simply not including a trans adjenda into your work isn’t trans phobia. Is The Little Mermaide trans phobic because there isn’t a trans representation? No…

          Hopefully someday I can write a “bad” book that makes best seller lists and makes me hundreds of millions of dollars.

          Really what’s the point of your comment?
