Oh, I'd believe this one.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do. I'm just saying oh, boy, because this is spreading surprisingly widely and quickly. Also, this is gonna get uglier yet.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, a minor disappointment is now I am sad about "Sons of Knute Christmas Dance and Dinner", for which it is annually time and it has been tainted forever.
That whole separation of art and personal action is getting harder to navigate for sure.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have personally held the belief for a very long time, and gotten stomped on pretty much any time I mentioned it, that genius or achievement or accidents of genetics and circumstance do not give people a pass on standards of decency and behavior.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely believe that art and other things can still be achieved and produced while not being narcissistic, selfish, egomaniacal abusers. Tolerating and even lionizing that crap is how we got here.
The idea that people behaving decently would turn everyone into passive droolers is just part of the controlling mythology of toxic masculinity.
Oh, they can definitely make great art and science without being douchebags. It is when you find out after you have fallen in love with something that it is a reckoning. That taint, you mention above.
ReplyDeleteThe list is painful and long, though, if we start paying attention. Not that we shouldn't.
