Separating art from the artists

In a situation where an artist is abusing his power to assault women, continuing to give him power isn’t helping.

Does anyone remember the Jerry Sandusky situation at penn state? He was assaulting kids. His football team was winning always. Do we ignore the fact that he’s a pedophile and keep cheering on his team or should we hold him accountable.

I’m not saying burn his books. Not telling you what to do. Just saying the separating the art from the artist argument doesn’t hold up. People who are abusing their power must be held accountable. Continuing to support them doesn’t help an ongoing problem. That ongoing problem being men abusing their power to assault women. It’s always been a thing. And I should be bothered enough to celebrate Neil less, and I am.
