If art history has taught me one thing, it's that artists as a whole are degenerate lunatics who in shunning honest trade, have chosen to participate in mankind's only worthy project- Art. When aliens archeologists piece together the black history of our doomed planet, it's our art that will both survive and define us. The written word, the picture, every symbol we ever scratched onto a material is a participation in our specie's only form of immortality. The crudely drawn, now-extinct animals etched tens of thousands of years ago in Europeans caves are no different in my eyes than the works of David Lynch, Pablo Picasso or Rembrandt. The process of creative industry I see as a transcendental expression, and when someone creates a true thing all faults and all history of the individual melts away as they are reconnecting with probably the best aspect of our nature. Judging a work by it's creator is simply insane. For every scandal that was made public, there's 10 more horrifying incidents that were covered up and forgotten about. One should seek to outdo one's heroes, because meeting them will always lead to disappointment. So when I see films made by literal monsters, I feel that it adds context rather than moralistic baggage.

When listening to a choir; Do you run off to do meticulous background checks on every single singer until you're able to have an informed opinion? -or- Do you enjoy the music in a quest for personal enlightenment?

TrixRabbi posted:I feel like this thread is entirely on topic? We're largely discussing how lovely people have depicted/hid/managed their lovely behavior through their works and why the two things are interconnected. Is that not the exact point of the OP? It sort of feels like the thread has shaken into a "naming and shaming" cycle, rather than a slightly esoteric discussion about the merits of art made by deviants. I'm going to make one more effort post here and then push this thread into the sea.
