Do you believe in separating the work from the artist? (piefed.ca)

I personally don’t because I view giving any kind of support as subsidising their problematic views.

so what happens in 50 years when the people then read your internet comments and find them problematic?

    I dunno. I honestly believe in what I say and try to be respectful and open-minded. I’m only human, I’m sure I’m not perfectly agreeable. If I’m still alive, I imagine I’d be interested in having a conversation with someone who actually cares that much about the old comments of some random person. Maybe I could learn something from that conversation. If I’m dead, then it won’t really matter to me what happens. At least I could die knowing I tried my best.

    Right, and who is to say the people you judge weren't trying their best? I'm confident JK Rowling, the favorite punching bag in these threads, is trying her very best.

    The irony of so many people these days is they feel INFINITE GRACE should be given to them, but NONE given to others. It baffles my mind.

    Ah okay that’s the actual point you were trying to make. I personally don’t expect “infinite grace” nor do I think I deserve it. Also to that point I think if someone were to tell me my stance on something harms someone else and I still remain firm on my stance against that group, I should be vilified. With the passing of time, A consensus will be reached and I will be either right or wrong and I should be judged accordingly.

    J. K. Rowling nor I are deserving of “grace” from others simply because either of us are trying our best. That’s just not fair to the people affected by either of us.
