      They'll put people in jail/prison or life for small marijuana charges but Pedi's and abusers get slaps on the wrist. That's a biproduct of white supremacy. Why would they lock up their friends/colleagues/people that look like them or doing similar things they are with abuse of power. Putting these people away for an appropriate amount of time would stain their reputation. "How could you put this upstanding citizen, who was just at the wrong place/wrong time/lied to or tricked by this child in prison for just being a man?"... They use real arguments like this in these hearings and it works for a lot of them.

    Here's what's wild about Victor Salva and trying to separate the art from the artist... you literally can't. Once you know what he is, you can only see his films through that lens, through the eye of a total fucking creep and a monster. His movies are about his proclivities. They're about how he sees young boys, especially Powder.
    But here's the other thing about him. He used his first film as the grooming tool. His "art" is his weapon. You can't separate it knowing that. Also he dedicated the 4th Jeepers Creepers films to his victim. He won't leave him alone. Even 30 years later, and that reignited trauma and his victim, how was a voice for victims, who was doing good work, has since gone totally dark online. It's so disgusting.

      Hello, a little correction: Victor Salva was NOT involved with the 4th film (Jeepers Creepers: Reborn) anymore after his Jeepers Creepers 3 controversy in 2017. The 3rd part included dialogue, which apparently justified CSA through the line Salva had wrote: "Can you blame him though? I mean look at her, the heart wants what it wants, am I right?". As of writing this, Jeepers Creepers 3 remains as his latest product.
      This is off-topic, but the 4th part would go on to have a controversy of its own: Myriad Pictures (the main production company behind parts 2 and 3) filed a property fraud lawsuit against Infinity Films Holdings (one of the production companies behind part 4) for producing the film without Myriad's "knowledge or involvement".

      "I have always made sure to steer away from admiring him as a person". This. There are celebrities I can admire as people, but that has nothing to do with their art. For example, I don't rate Keanu Reeves as an actor at all, but he seems like a really nice person irl, so I can admire him for that. But I have never, ever confused admiration for a person's talent with admiration for them as a person- I enjoy the films of Quentin Tarantino, for example, but I don't automatically assume he's a great guy just because he makes movies I like, so when the stories of him allowing Uma Thurman to get hurt on the set of Kill Bill due to negligence came out I was neither shocked nor upset, nor did it stop me being able to enjoy Kill Bill. I've always found it really easy to separate the art from the artist, and finding out that Coppola is probably a creep means no more to me than finding out that some random person I didn't know was- I think he should face the consequences of his actions, of course, but it will have precisely zero effect on how I view GF or Apocalypse Now, or my enjoyment of them, any more than knowing about all the horrible shit that Polanski did has an effect on my enjoyment of Chinatown.
      While I can understand people who don't want to pay money to see a new film by a problematic figure that will contribute to their financial success, I've never understood people who refuse to watch anything they've ever done ever again, and I honestly think it's the product of our celebrity-obsessed culture where we seem incapable of separating a person's work from their private life, and see celebrities as our friends and heroes rather than as mere court jesters providing the service of entertainment.

And at the same time, whether he ever does or not will have no influence whatsoever on my enjoyment of Chinatown, which is a great fucking movie, and one that I can watch again and again without ever contributing to him financially.
      I agree that people who defend the person BECAUSE they are a great artist (like all the celebrities who defended Polanski) are hypocrites. But those people do not exclusively make up the "separate the art from the artist" camp by any means. There's a hell of a lot of room for manoeuvre between "Coppola is a genius, he doesn't have to live by society's petty rules" and "we should immediately burn all copies of The Godfather".

      There are some exceptions. For example I definitely viewed Manhattan through a different lens after the Woody Allen allegations came out, because in it he plays a middle-aged man dating a minor, so it's hard not to associate the movie with real life. But I can watch, say, Annie Hall, or Play It Again Sam, without said allegations even occurring to me. And I certainly wouldn't stop watching any of them, even Manhattan, just because of said allegations- even if they turn out to be proven true.

    as an artist, i think in most cases an artist's work contains part of the artist themself. Like, Harry Potter is steeped in JK Rowling's bigoted views. That doesn't mean that people can't have their own experience with a work, their own meanings and interpretations, but to say that an artist's work has nothing to do with who they are just doesn't make any sense. Even if I'm hired by some company to make a dumb logo, that logo is still only gonna end up looking however it looks because of the choices I made when creating it. And like, if an artist does something horrible it can definitely recontextualize the values or ideas presented in their past work for a lot of their fans. idk just this idea that art is separate from the artist in any way really doesn't make any sense to me, and this idea being so prevalent partially explains why people are so insistent that genAI is capable of making art.

And even though dobby is a beloved character, he’s still very much framed as not an average house elf, and their plight is not really seen as negative in the books. Even protagonist defend their slavery. And even beloved characters like Hagrid have a few kind of iffy views on Muggles and other types of people. Not to mention that almost every unique looking person or excessively large character is framed as a coward or a criminal. Knowing how she is, a lot of it actually makes me quite a bit uncomfortable now, and I’m sure there’s a lot I’m missing. I’m not trying to tell people whether they should like or dislike the books, but as a pretty big fan since I was about five or six, this was just stuff I noticed, especially when you look at her other writings. It’s kind of crazy how often when artist come out as intolerant or abusive that when you go back and look at their art, you can see some of the signs.

      this has always been my personal take with the phenomenon. while there definitely is work that can still be enjoyed while giving no thought to the author, oftentimes what the author believes or does are reflected in their work to some degree. this can sometimes be minor and criticized while still enjoying the work as a whole, but sometimes the author bleeds into the work to such an extent that their harmful views/actions can be seen in the work itself with the context. one should be critical of any work they engage in, as its important to be able to have these nuanced takes on media and theres very little media in which such nuance isnt necessary (the only one i can think of is chis sweet home ekdnekcn), and this especially is true for media where its known that the creator has an unsavory reputation that can show in their work. none of this makes a work impossible to enjoy, but its important to consider, especially for those who claim to care about a creators bad behavior but refuse to engage with how it presents in the work itself
      i think i repeated myself Buh. basically personal example- some members of msi suck, and this bleeds into some of their songs, so i just listen to the ones that dont contain anything related to their nasty behavior via reuploads so i also dont add to any streaming revenue. its pretty simple, but some folks Really seem incapable of understanding that what they enjoy can be criticized without it being an attack on them

Yeah I grew up with Harry potter but it was super easy to move on from it when the Rowling stuff happened. It's just a story. It's not my identify and leaving harry potter behind didn't cause me to bleed or injure me physically or psychologically in any way.

      It’s a concept that’s become annoyingly misinterpreted over the past few years as an excuse for people to continue consuming content made by people who have done awful things without any guilt on their part. It’s *supposed* to refer to the fact that, in artistic analysis, very often people’s interpretations will differ from the artist’s original intentions & original context. It’s supposed to be phrase that lends validity to varied personal interpretation, and allow for a sense of nuance when performing analysis on said art, not an excuse people can throw around to justify supporting horrible people.

    To support aholes and creeps or harrassers and bigots with consuming their products is just that, and no, you can't separate that.
    Obvs there are nuances, you can still like a film from Coppola, he was not the sole talent making the Godfather great, and I still love the Outsiders and the Black Stallion, that'll never change.

    The primary issue really is that people of his stature are completly cut off from any accountability and even if they're caught they always end up either with no punishment or one that's unproportionally miniscule compared to what they actually deserved. After all Bill Cosby is running free again already.
    Also, there's no fucking way you can seperate art from the artist because all art is intrinsically connected to the artist. Literally welded onto them.

    This reminds me of a satire piece I heard somewhere about how future capitalism will dictate not just your salary, but what human rights you have, based entirely on skill/talent. If you were a genius in a specific area, you were allowed to commit crimes with no repercussions because “their contributions will far outweigh the crime”. You were basically allowed to get away with murder as long as your contributions were great, and the person you killed wasn’t “a genius” (because that would be killing potential breakthroughs)
    It’s wild how that satire ended up being not so far from the truth. I wish I could remember where the story(?) was from. I’d love to re-read it

    That's shameful, he should be rightfully facing reprecussion and punishment. And even I hate how some people in these sensitive situations some people jump to the conclusion that alleged blames are false giving no space for the victim (till there's no particular reason to be against them).

    Sometimes hollywood just feels like a big pdf nest constructed to protect them.

      Nah. They're attracted to the power and opportunity. Anything with those will have creeps.

      ​@@valolafson6035I agree in principle but hollywood really does have a problem of creeps protecting creeps. There's a big concentration of power at the top and an endless supply of vunerable people (adults and even children) trying to make it big as actors for them to exploit and ab*se. If you do get caught, you have not only the money but the influence to just brush it off and keep going, assuming your victim is even believed in the first place since your friends on the top will cover for you.
