Oh absolutely. The suggestion of separating art from the artist was not to excuse that sort of thing in any way. That sort of art precisely cannot be separated from the artist. It's more propaganda than art at that point.
My specific intent with pointing out Lineham. Was that often art is not just the fruit of a single person. If the art itself wasn't made with bigoted intent, punching down Etc. Then it's dead to me for sure. But should we retroactively punish anyone who ever worked with someone who eventually gets exposed as a bad person? If they choose to continue to work with and enable them, absolutely. Otherwise no, unless they're tied to the offense themselves.
I absolutely agree ๐ and I didn't intend for my comment about separating art from the artist to be a counterpoint to yours. I meant it as an addition to your point.
Oh no worries I tend to get a bit in my own head and autistic sometimes. Not wording things clearly. You know, the whole it sounded fine in my head LOL and that may have been the problem situation. Because yeah as a practically stereotypical anarchist anti-authoritarian goth near 50 years old. I'd never intentionally apologize or enable that shit. Because after all everyone wants a little respect.
