      To be lauded and celebrated as a filmmaker such that he made his living and affirmed his own worth based on how deeply he could dwell in his own pain To have immense amounts of money and fame and the ability to fly to another country to escape consequences

      It is obvious that not only would his victims be better off but also he would be better off if he hadn't had power (Even continuing to live a life of luxury and celebrity as he does, he wouldn't be racked with guilt and constantly looking over his shoulder as he obviously is)

      It's just, you know How do you go around judging people before they've actually done anything saying "Well it's not a good idea to let you have too much power" Who judges, who gets to take that power away, and how can we trust them not to keep it for themselves

      It's kaleidoscopic, right, like everyone right now is talking about how fucked up Sia's relationship with Maddie Ziegler is and how fucked it is that people let it go on for so long, but Sia herself says she's a survivor of abusive relationships and her art was her way of coping

      Before Sia shat the bed with her latest movie and made everyone double-take like "She's been doing this kind of shit with this girl since she was HOW old?", if you were the one standing in the way of her making her art with her muse everyone would call you the asshole

      All the other progressive academics circling around Avital Ronell saying that her unique way of working with her students was a form of queer feminist liberation, before her advisee gave a full accounting of how invasive and fucked up their relationship was

      Like I think this is a deep dark thing at the heart of how we look at art and creativity I did a thread before on how this is the message of the fucking Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie with Gene Wilder

      Charlie wins the game at the end because he understands that as abusive and unfair and tyrannical as Willy Wonka is, the Chocolate Factory is beautiful, it brings countless people joy, it's TOO IMPORTANT to let it be destroyed over his own grievance

      Is it? At face value, a competing company getting is hands on just one of its trade secrets (at that, a finished product it could just buy on the open market after it's launch) seems unlikely to destroy Wonka's business and even less likely to affect his customers negatively.

      Who is to say Slugworth (if he were real) wouldn't bring just as many people joy, only without being an asshole or using slave labor?

      Well, it's a kids' movie, so poking holes in the logic isn't really the point The point is that the kids all know the story that the Chocolate Factory already closed once last time because Wonka's human employees sold out to Slugworth and he felt betrayed

          The fact that the factory closing may not have been over a real grievance or threat but just Wonka acting in a fit of pique over being disrespected, I think, strengthens the point rather than weakening it

          (As does the fact that the situation in the movie isn't real at all but an abusive gaslighting test)
