this kind of happened to me, though nobody said there was rape but a lot of assholery toward women and abuse of position/power. i thought about removing it but it’s not like i know the artist or anything. he didn’t make the thing that is depicted either

Is this post about John K? I still love Ren & Stimpy, so I'd leave it

Paul Gauguin's story is relevant here. He was a late-19th-century painter who moved from Europe to some remote islands. It wasn't rape, but he was a pedophile, and he had syphilis. I believe he married three different native girls, all 13-14, over the course of his life.

His art is respected, but because of his dark past he isn't as well known as he might otherwise be.

I’ve got this with a Judge Dredd pinball I own. The designer got busted for child porn. I can buy another one cheap. Should I ? Rich whitey problems.

This happened in my town recently, although the artist was accused of creepy behavior by a number of women. I know of one friend and a couple businesses that immediately acted and got rid of the artists work.

You can keep your collection of paintings by John Wayne Gacy, we won’t judge you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy …

If an artist's crime changes the context of the work, I would probably not be comfortable seeing it anymore (hypothetical example, a work of art depicting rape as made by a rape survivor would have a much different feeling to it than a similar one by a rapist).

If the work is completely unrelated to their crime, meh? They already profited from the piece. Nobody comes to my apartment anyway
