With all the hate towards J.K Rowling (deserved) and lets say Kanye West for example, you can enjoy the art but can you really separate what they create from what they say?

    What about dealing with someone like George Orwell who was a sexual offender? Many people just overlook him and start talking about his books and how well they are written in accordance to today’s society.

      Orwell was a sex criminal and a cop, and a dogshit writer to boot, but that doesn’t really change anything. If for some reason you feel compelled to read his work it should be stolen, and if you feel the need to discuss him you should remind anyone within earshot that he was a hypocrite and a creep. Not much else you can do.
