The artist and the art are intrinsically intertwined. Lovecraft’s work (to use a less immediate example) has all of his fears, including racism, built into the bones of the stories. Skillet is fundamentally culty Christian types, once you understand that their more normal music takes on a creepy meaning.
It’s possible to pull unintentional meaning from a work, we do it all the time, but that doesn’t mean the original intent should be disregarded. That idea is practically anti-art imo.
I had never seen “separate the art from the artist” so much until Joanne opened her stupid fucking mouth. Its funny to me that dropping brands for supporting bad things was so easy for people until it was Harry Potter at stake. As someone that never got into it in the first place, it kinda pissed me off.

Using that phrase in the context of parent and child is wild. You’re weird.
