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.
oh yah absolutely. take people like nicki minaj and cavetown for example. cavetown said some antisemitic bullshit and someone in this thread already explained about minaj, hence why i'm uncomfortable supporting them as creators. if you want to continue listening to the music without the guilt of supporting the artist, pirate it! especially kanye lo...... reply
