Well I could say yeah, That is more relatable than “let’s just all celebrate ditty despite what he did outside of being an artist”
Yea we are multifaceted but there are some distinctions that really are not so much a grey area of being on the same complicated human level as everyone else. Are we really boiled down to all capable of being a murderer without also indicating we all have freedom of choice? For some that’s not even entering their mind. So that is understandable to not be relatable and I respect someone’s decision who decides this for themselves . It really is a matter of taste and to each their own. They owe none of these artists anything. No one does. So I think people who are still chewing over this need to accept that.
Rowling, hitler and ditty made some choices. And there is a vast world of artists who made better choices that can take up more than our attention, energy or time we will ever have in one lifetime to celebrate it. And given how many are ignored throughout time over merely being a gender or race in an era that was unkind to them, why dont they deserve this kind of attention to the point of people arguing?
Time to accept it and move on. Plenty of great artists out there to celebrate. No need to dig through pig shit for a sparkle of gold.
