The art and the artist should always be separated. Just because someone makes something amazing doesn't mean they, too, are amazing.
I had never seen "separate the art from the artist" so much until Joanne opened her stupid fucking mouth. Its funny to me that dropping brands for supporting bad things was so easy for people until it was Harry Potter at stake. As someone that never got into it in the first place, it kinda pissed me off.
It goes for many Hollywood actors too. One can appreciate their acting prowess and skills even if they are batshit crazy. Same could be said about kids and their parents. How many shit parents are in the world that create absolutely blessed kids who are nothing like them? Gotta separate.
Using that phrase in the context of parent and child is wild. You're weird.
