So, I read the other day that the creator of the YouTube series Honest Trailers (and Honest Game Trailers) was recently fired after several people spoke out against him over sexual harassment.
That again raises the question of how you're supposed to feel if you liked someone's videos or other product, but the person themselves is... let's say, "unworthy".

Separating the art from the artist is a helluva difficult thing to do, but I tend to try and apply death of the author in this regard. Too many artists with brilliant works made by them who are/were absolute assholes, but their work does not show it.

What if part of the appeal of the show is its assholishness? :cheeky: For the record, Andy Signore, recently fired from Screen Junkies for sexual harassment, was the co-creator of Honest Trailers. Not the voice, not the sole original creator, not even the head writer. One important member of a team, not some sort of auteur. Should the rest of the cast and crews' work be condemned because of him - especially given that said crew outed and ousted him?

Oh, I misunderstood that, I foolishly assumed that the only person important enough to stop the production would be the guy who voices it, not really realising how many people are actually involved.
That's what you get from only half-reading articles.
I think the question itself is still valid though. It's better not to know exactly who creates the art that you like, in case you realise you don't like the people.

It's your choice, really. I personally can enjoy Lovecraft even while acknowledging that he had some horrible views about race and gender. It's not like you necessarily have to wall things off in your mind.

@Starker: I agree to a point. For me the disinterest kicks in when an author's sexist and/or racist opinions/attitude start bleeding through into their writings. I just lose interest after that and don't care to continue reading. If an actor whom I previously liked and who had once appealed to me is exposed to be a sexist/misogynistic and/or racist pig, that appeal fades and I lose interest in any films in which he might have starred. It's not usually a conscious choice for me; my interest just wanes.

Eh.
I actually support prosecuting some of these people (assuming due process is followed of course). Actually charging and jailing a few of the rich and powerful would send a message that nobody is above the law, and would do a LOT more to reduce sexual assault and harassment in the workplace than campaigns to "raise awareness" could accomplish in a Millennium.
Biggest reason guys sexually harass in the workplace? Because they're sociopaths who think they can get away with it. You can't fix being sociopath, but you can make a sociopath believe that acting in a certain way goes against his self interest

Let's get down into it, and root it out!

Shoddy video quality, but its the first of its kind, and people are not exactly picking up on this story for some reason, almighty Lord this is getting good!

My mother in law once touched my butt at a family party. I have never spoken about this online before. But now I feel the truth must be on the internet.
And while we're at it: My step-father clearly patted my wife's butt at our wedding! Although that I can understand, because she has a butt and I don't. :(
What is it with old people wanting to touch young butts? Do they not know we find them all disgusting? Do they not care at all??
