is it ok to separate art from artist?
this is mostly about music artists, but this also applies to everything that requires creativity (movies, art, writing, etc.) there are many extremely problematic people out there who make some GOOODD music, but i often feel conflicted on whether or not i should listen to them. take kanye for example, he genuinely makes amazing songs, but he's also a white supremacist and neo-n@zi. i don't listen to him anymore since i don't fw that, but there are some that still support/defend him. some people believe it is possible to appreciate the artistic work separately from the artist's personal life or actions, while others feel that supporting a problematic artist may condone or enable their behavior. ultimately, it's a personal decision and can depend on various factors, including the severity of the artist's problematic actions and individual beliefs. so im just asking this question to see answers from different people.
I mean if you have the mindset that “artist bad so art bad”, it’d be almost impossible to find art you like where you completely agree with the artist’s actions/mindset.
Of course, there are exceptions when they do/say/think something completely horrible where you can’t even stand listening to them, that’s true and you’re free do do...... reply
