      34. But if Woody-the-neurotic no longer plausible, he had another mask: Woody-the-artist, who is beyond good and evil.

      35. Middle and late period Woody often explores dilemma of the Nietzschean superman as he tries to transcend conventional morality.

      36. Among his reduced but still sizable body of fans, Woody-the-artist became the default defense. Artists under no obligation to be decent

      37. Polanski offers a parallel case with Allen: the aura of the artist is seen by supporters as reason to discount evidence of wrongdoing.

      38. Since I do think "art" and "life" can be viewed separately, I'm sympathetic to trying to appreciate Allen/Polanski in spite of acts

      39. The estimable @helaineolen says I should bring in Lena Dunham to the conversation. Relevant, but I'll resist. Too complicated!

      40. Rather, I think the more fruitful way to bring this to an end is to bring in political economy & power relations.

      42. There is a money economy but there is also an (overlapping) attention economy.

      43. Celebrities are the 1% (or really 0.001%) of the attention economy. Small in number but outsized in attention they receive.

      44. As the plutocrats of the attention economy, celebrities have billionaire like power to reshape narratives & realities.

          45. Fighting a celebrity (with their plutocratic control over attention) can be as difficult as doing battle with Koch Brothers.

          46. It's the inequalities of the attention equality that help explain why abuse is covered up for years, goes unreported, isn't believed.

          @HeerJeet Maybe I want to retract. Multi-tweets are each engaging as a single would not be. Pls continue Robo-tweeting brilliant analysts.
