It’s like, the obvious, common sense way to live, isn’t it?
What, are you gonna demand full psych and financial background checks on every person who creates and posts something? Wouldn’t that kind of overseeing, authoritative behaviour ring you a bell?
Besides, separating the art from the artist really is the only thing that makes sense when artists and their works live in kinda separate temporal timeframes. If John Foo was a nice person and created piece of art in 2022, but had a rough financial turn at life in 2023 and turned into a christofascist as a result… honestly, that’s far less the fault of the art which is a kinda inanimate thing and more the fault of consumers who didn’t support their work more.
Yes.
