I was just thinking about something similar, the way "Harry Potter is evil" has turned around to be a truth (remember when people tried to ban it arguing it promoted witchcraft)

It's bitterly funny how young people turned against both but for reasons for completely different reasons than they were told they were evil for years or reasons the same religious folks who were against HP initially would probably agree with

Yeah and I've been seeing similar stuff with media in general on here Remember the whole "Joker will cause mass shootings" stuff from late 2019? That's in addition to a general mindset treating creators as having an obligation to be more overtly moralistic with their work

a reasonable concern. my first thought was to connect it to the Louie CK thing, where a guy has made talking about being a terrible guy his entire aesthetic, and people were ok with it because we thought he wasn't serious. Not the exact same thing here, but similar

I already said this but yes, there’s definitely people who are going to be saying “if he created that kind of SICK art, of course he was an abuser” and ignoring wholesome art creators who are also abusers (like Cosby), which will be annoying.

He's evil in the sense that cishet white masculinity is evil. I'm sure if we put marilyn manson and his detractors on one side of the venn diagram, and the other side was just the word "sexual predator" that venn diagram will very closely resemble a single circle.

Manson hasn't been a "thing" for over a decade, though. He's old people music.

Yeah. the people who were on that train the first time round are a little busy with the GOP disolving. And the "puriteens" you hate would prefer a target from their generation
