Reposted by SobaoMicah @rincewind.run · 04/09/2026this is absolutely true! "this work is bad now because we can see that this was actually a confession rather than commentary" is a thing (see: much of louis ck's work) we just can't fall into the trap of "I can therefore now always discern between social commentary and the author's beliefs" 13854116
Reposted by SobaoMicah @rincewind.run · 04/09/2026and look, sometimes you genuinely didn’t like someone’s work and thought they were overhyped, and then they turn out to be a colossal asshole, and this feels very vindicating but former fans should be okay saying “this did mean something to me, this was good, and that’s what makes it hurt more” 231068104
Reposted by SobaoMicah @rincewind.run · 04/09/2026I think it is reasonable to look back at work and be unable to enjoy it the same way, either because of knowing what we do about the creator or because you can see hints of the bad behavior in the work itself but that is not the same as “this was always terrible” 131156138
Reposted by SobaoMicah @rincewind.run · 04/09/2026“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true 4160252172
