      Just imagine it’s Discworld or something else with flying broomsticks. And if the scarf bothers you just remember it’s cold up there when you’re flying.

      You can love the art and hate the artist. Which I do.

      On the other hand: typically the value of painting-type art has to do with the story of the artist. So if the artist is a spoiled rich white boy, then his paintings of slums and poor people will likely not take off as a cultural phenomenon.

                Because J.K. Rowling is a massive loon we’re not liking Harry Potter anymore. If you feel otherwise about the books you stand with all her viewpoints, and thus your opinions are invalid. That’s what I’m getting from it anyways.

                Whether an author should be given such power over their works as to be able to sully them retroactively is a whole box of frogs I’m not going to attempt to untangle, but I know I wasn’t even aware who the person was when I read the books in primary school, and to me those joyful memories of a magical world had nothing to do with a hateful old woman shouting crazy things from her castle.

                And if anyone reading this thinks I’m implying she should be able to spew hatred and crazy without consequences, you’re wrong. I just don’t think pretending there was never anything magical about the books themselves is the way to go about it.
