All My Heroes Are Monsters

Here to ask the question: What do you do, emotionally and practically, when it turns out that people you have admired for a long time happen to be terrible people?

Am I going to make some cop-out ā€œseparate the art from the artistā€ argument? No.

Am I going to repeat the boring adage about heroes and the meeting thereof? No. Well, not often.

What I am going to attempt to do is to examine the people whose creative work has impacted my life, look at the terrible things that Iā€™ve done, and try to figure out where to go from here.

And hopefully youā€™ll get something out of it too.
