I was going to say that this is another sign of his macho-ness, idolizing xenophobic, anti-modern, imperial puritans like Mishima.

Yes. but Reza, if you look through them with just your own ethics, you can cut down every male writer in the history. which is an honorable mission one must say. Mishima has its own merits. the thing is these figures normally do great with gnostic types, if you know what i mean.

there's a certain charm around them. that exact charm is also around somebody like Bataille or, if you want to push the wheel all the way through, even around Nietzsche.

do you hold that 'bad' people cannot be 'good' writers?

They surely have literally merits, but I think that gnostic charm or aura is dangerous. It's not exclusive to these people, Jack London as a staunch communist was even worse. There is an underlying themes among all these people.

they psychologize or misappropriate things which are supposed to be impersonal. But there are tons of male writers who remain aloof to their ideologies when writing books or systematically shed their psychologism as they become mature.

Ex. compare two authors living around the same period in Japan Kyusaku Yumeno and Mishima. For Mishima the Avantgarde literature is just a style that he can put in the service of his psyche and ideology. But for Yumeno, it is the expression of the impersonal forces of modernity.

Yumeno never received the popularity of Mishima even tho his books were far more avant-garde and exciting, because he never resorted to the cult of personality that Mishima was calculatedly cultivating around himself.

Never heard of Yumeno, but your brief description intrigues the hell out of me. Will check some out in this time of isolation.

He is one of the first authors who introduced modernist writing via detective fiction and sci-fi to Japan. His novels are extremely moody with twisted plot structures and a great deal of early i.e. crazy psychoanalysis.
