Steve harvey is a fucking piece of shit who hates atheist, is homophobic, encourages guys cheating, is sexist, advocates rape and thinks guys and girls can't just be friends i am sure there is more than that but this is what i have found please feal free to tell me and i'll add it
Why has it become normal to beg the question
I beg your pardon?
Why do you presuppose it has become normal? Have you seen this often? It's the first time I've seen it myself, and I am genuinely browsing memes too often for my health.
I guess it's not hugely common, but it still happens and nobody seems to question it. Like not too long ago with Lovecraft, for example.
That's funny shit though, if you talk about how HP Sauce named his cat a hard R slur, that's just good small talk.
I'm only fighting you on this because I like to acknowledge the darker side of our cultural touchstones. For example I still listen to Thriller, but I never forget MJ might have fucked those kids. I mean, come on. It's a bop.
There's a difference between acknowledging it and feeling like you should let everyone know any time it's brought up.
As a person involved in creative works, I don't think this is healthy in the long run. If a fella was a bigot once, and you denounce them every time they're brought up, that comes off as you saying they shouldn't be allowed to do creative work because they were a bigot once.
On a personal level, I don't really have as much to fear from that because I've never been a hater (though I've certainly said things in the past that can be misconstrued.) But I work with teams. I have a concern that one day, one of my teammates on one of my favorite projects might get exposed for something I had no way of knowing, that might have only occured years before I met them, and then the reputation of that project is going to be forever tainted. That could be hundreds of hours of work and passion down the drain.
I think I get that... I've had a few friends complain about how you can't get the space jam album anymore because of some shit about one of the artists, or so the record stores have told them. I don't remember all of it but some tracks at least we're also 'a bop' like the other person said, but I guess MJ is bigger than a bunch of mixed artists with one(?) bad apple.
This is just my personal version of "death of the artist". You have to separate the art from the artist, but that doesn't mean we give them a free pass imo
I can respect that you don't torch the art for the sins of the artist, but not everyone feels the same way. Remember the drama around Hogwarts Legacy?
