Usually if the person who made something is a massive piece of shit, that just puts me off it entirely. For example, Rurouni Kenshin might be considered one of the best animes of all time, but I cannot watch it without thinking about the fact that the guy who made it had so much child porn. Sours everything the fucker touched

Like, maybe I could learn to separate the art from the artist, but.. why would I? There's already more art than I could ever consume made by people who don't jerk it to kids

    Wait what? ... fucking hell man. I think there's levels to me no longer watching an artist's work ...

    Some, I just overlook or if the stories aren't substantiated or major. Child porn is just something else ... man, I really like Kenshin too.

    Yeah I'm really sorry you had to learn it here. At least Oda and Araki are still cool

    Wasn't Oda friends with a paedophile and aware of it?

    Seems like it. In total fairness, he didn't say the pedophilia was cool, he just enjoyed working with the guy. Also it's Japan, so he's gonna have to work alongside pedophiles at some point

    Yeah 😄 This is where putting boundarys becomes interesting. Do we avoid Oda as well?

    Yeah, it's hard to draw a line, which is why for me it's just a matter of whether the artist puts me off the work entirely or not. I can watch One Piece without my mind interrupting me about Oda being kinda problematic. But I can't, for example, read Sandman without thinking of all the rapin Gaiman did.

    And sorry if anyone is learning about ol Rapin Gaiman here
