Hey, this is something I’ve been thinking about a lot these past few days.
With the #MeToo movement and the information about various artists becoming so easily accessible, I find it hard to separate the art from the artist.
For example, the latest allegations about Neil Gaiman have left me in a state of limbo. I enjoy much of his work and have gladly read his books and comics, but now I find it difficult to enjoy them, knowing these negative stories have surfaced.
This issue extends to actors, singers, producers, and stand-up comedians. So, my question is: do you also find it hard to enjoy movies or books you previously liked, now that you know the person who created or performed in them is a problematic individual ?
