At least they cant ban the already created books, I barelt started reading them preaallegations and have been looking forward to them forever, not like they are suddenly going to be bad after being reccomended them 100s of times
Be careful, don’t you know that you aren’t allowed to enjoy things made by bad people?
Don’t mind me, I’ll be over here with American Gods, Good Omens, and the Harry Potter books. Not enjoying them one bit. Because I’m a good person who believes good things and only supports good people.
More seriously, I’ll try to buy any future copies of his stuff used, but I’m not going to sweat it. There are far more things I purchase and use on a daily basis with far worse people and power structures behind them. Not going to worry about a single author.
Fair enough. Not like they’re anywhere close to favorites of mine or anything. Was just the most immediate non-Gaiman example of books by a bad person I could come up with.
I swear like 70% of readers are not literature fans. They’re just doing escapist nostalgia on a loop. Repeatedly reading Potter into adulthood is fucking wild lmao
Just going to be annoying discussing anything I read online without ppl chiming in about how the author sucks, basically forced to talk about his work in fringe communities that support the author too much
I agree once art has been put out there it’s no longer just owned by the artist. If they are a Dbag just means I can still their art guilt free. Note this only goes for books, paintings and such where it’s a single artist. I try my best not to fuck over second AD just becase a writer is shit head.

More great books out there than you could read in a lifetime not written by known sexual abusers but hey you do you
I’ve read a shitton, these were still reccomended over what ive read, its not like the content isnt the same
There are parts that stick out as a lot more sus with the context that the dude is an abusive monster irl
So it only matters if they’re known?
Should avoid the unknown also, yes?
How are you meant to avoid the unknown ones?
That’s kind of my point.
Your point is “Don’t hold anyone accountable because we can’t ever know every bad thing ever done”? That’s a really shit point.
I think we have different ideas of what accountable means.
Wasn’t a very good one

The problem with Harry Potter isn’t the author, it’s that they’re (barely) mid books for babies lol.

even then the mid books are the first three, rest are shit

Well, there are things that absolutely will NOT hit the same now.
