    There’s just so many people that work on movies and finance them that there has got to be a 100℅ chance that every great movie has a dickweasle wedged in the process somewhere.

      You gotta separate the art from the artist. When one of my favorite bands got canceled because the lead singer was into the young ladies, I tried to remember there were four other dudes in the band, as well as presumably a lot of behind the scenes folks who assisted with touring and studio production. Same with movies. You can denounce people for being shitty, but at the same time recognize they were a part of something great.

        I don’t know about “gotta” but often, I agree. Picasso was a piece of shit and a great artist. I think it’s actually counter productive to take the binary good/bad route in cases like his. The guy is famous already, if we were to try and reverse that, we not only remove art from the world in a sense, but we also decrease society’s overall ability to discuss the light and dark side of things.

              Every art historian and critic and fan

              Lol! You mean those people whose entire living depends on pretending the (so-called) “art world” isn’t 90% hype and 10% “Great Man” fallacy?

              I can throw a brick on deviantart.com and hit someone that’s more talented than Picasso was (well, you could before it got swamped with fake AI), but none of them gets hyped up by a scam industry selling feelgood to rich people, do they?

                Your ignorance (and contrarianism) shows.

                If someone can take a look at Picasso’s works and say they suck, their opinion is to be ignored. So thanks for that ❤️

                  Since you’re having a hard time dealing with the cognitive dissonance you are suffering from due to your pathologic worship of (supposedly) “great men,” I’ll be reposting the obvious for you.

                  Picasso was a piece of shit and a great artist.

                  Deal with it.
