dated tv humor
In the first season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” since The Master was a vampire who’d been trapped underground for so many years, AND he was played by Mark Metcalf … they totally should have had a scene when he finally escapes to the surface, where he finds a Twisted Sister LP, and he picks it up in shock and disdain and says, “What is THIS?! TWISted SISter?!?” 😂

That thing where you get new art and love it so much you must craft a phone wallpaper from it, so you have an excuse to sneak peeks. 👀

A cybersecurity specialist, a surgeon, a vaccine researcher, a lawyer, an astronaut, a pilot, and a train driver walk into a hotel room.
They have sex.

I should really stop talking about the dumb thing as I am quickly just becoming free press for it but....
The weird action of people claiming there has been harrassment of players with no EVIDENCE of harrasment and only heresay certainly say something.
Can I believe it? Sure, because I hate people. But the people making the claim have every reason to want to lie and change the topic and the size and scope claimed demands evidence.
Latex, identity weirdness
@ceralor I dont have anything smart to add or say. My general thought is that yes wear what makes you happy but I can understand with worrying about other people's comfort

People who prefer ketchup over mustard are annoying because as soon as you say you like mustard, they go on and on about how much they hate it. Like, okay. You have the same flavor palette you had when you were 5 but that doesn’t mean you should insult what I put in my coffee.

@FlatFootFox though I think we have good examples of when people perceive something as bad and then must deal with other people liking it and the dissonance that causes
Literary Nerd Rambling
@FlatFootFox I can certainly understand and empathize. In many ways people dont like their personal perceptions on a piece of media to be upended. Admitting you might have to reframe your thinking is hard

@FlatFootFox i can't even be mad because it is so reasonable

Just rambling, I dont have any insights here just talking.

But I think the term "seperate the art from the artist" has gained a new meaning of "dont let problematic creators infringe on my enjoyment of a work"
perhaps that is unfair of me, but if that is the case that comes across as giving up responsibility and my freedom to be wrong.
Literary Nerd Rambling
Though I think the ideal or democratizing interaction with art is a good one.

In other words even if the artist or author did not intend it that way the reader, viewer, or other groups who have a different interpretation have validity in discussion.
This puts a tremendous amount or responsibility on the individual because it means there is no higher authority of appeal your view is valid but so are other people's views.
In which case it can become a question of who can make a better argument (which is problematic).
Literary Nerd Rambling
My big issue with how people discuss seperatint the art from the artist is that the term has been appropriated from its original intent so heavily.
The original idea was part of the post modernist movement's attmepts to argue the validity of discussing art and literature through personalized context.
In that way while the creator's views have value they dont obviate other perspectives and opinions
