the examples you gave

Yes, that’s what separating the art from the artist means.

Well aware. I am listing examples of why I cant separate. Hence my “disagree” comment

🤨

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Then apparently for a person who can separate them, there are zero examples. Or null

It depends: if you only listen to music (or view artwork) to feel "good" or enjoy "basking" in the emotions it evokes, then it makes sense to steer clear of artwork you disagree with or makes you uncomfortable.

But if you find value in viewing artwork that illicits a multitude of emotions, evokes introspection, throws you off balance, and forces you to consider concepts you wouldn't otherwise, then taking a moment to peak into the mind of someone you fundamentally disagree with is a great way to do that.

As Werner Herzog put it, "the poet must not avert his eyes".
