Ah, we're doing ideological calipers again. This is my liberal pet peeve because art history does not bear this out. The entire canon of the first half of the 20th century was literally funded by the progenitors of fascism and the CIA.

Fascists have terrible taste in art. They always have and always will.

this is one thing that bugs me a lot when a writer or artist gets outed as a creep/predator/what have you and everyone retcons their appreciation of their creations like "they were never that good anyway" unfortunately lots of great art is made by terrible people

100%! I usually bring up how many of our faves have been metoo'd when discussing this because I think that paints the clearest picture of how making good art and being a good person are not one in the same.
