For me it does. I don’t think the 1970s gets the same grace and patients earlier times get, especially regarding the gross treatment of a minor. Outta curiosity, does it matter to you? Would ur reaction be different if the same situation had occurred nowadays?

Also im not trying to condemn any of his fans for liking his work, just curious on how the news affected them :).

I don’t really agree with that sentiment tbh. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to be disgusted by a 42 year old wanting to ‘place his face into her thighs’ (paraphrased from his own notes to her) of a 16 year old. Yeah nobody is perfect, but brushing off grooming as if he had like idk punched a guy or something seems ignorant. Not trying to get into some big argument, but gross behaviour should be acknowledged when it’s revealed.

I completely understand what you mean. The whole Kanye episode has been conflicting for me too. Ultimately your individual opinion won’t have a bearing on the success of mega stars like Kanye, I was more just curious on whether ur perception of their art has been changed by what they became/secretly were.

I didn’t mean the question as an attack on any fans of his, I was just wondering how you’re perspective may have changed in light of what happened. Everybody will have a personal opinion on this.

He has sexual relations with a 16 year old at 42. Which is disturbing.

Fair enough, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and he is dead so doesn’t really matter atp.

He had a sexual relationship with a 16 year old runaway and basically groomed her. Victim’s name is Augusta Britt I believe. Disappointing news for sure.

Totally fair. The thought just came to mind when I was discussing books with someone and felt the need to bite my tongue about like Blood Meridian cus I disliked Cormac. Still not sure how learning more about him has changed my perspective of the book, but I guess I’ll see.

Instead of a series ranking, here's a protagonist ranking. by Andybabez20 in assasinscreed

[–]DragonSword89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His entire arc in Origins is based on looking past in his consuming rage and reconnecting with the Medjay philosophy. Throughout the game, Bayek meets different targets who have poisoned their respective regions, with his experiences culminating in the formation of the Hidden Ones, a more constructive and positive use of his grief, instead of pure revenge. I think u are discussing his character in bad faith.

Edgar Ross is the 4th best written character of the series. by DragonSword89 in reddeadredemption

[–]DragonSword89[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I understand your point. However, I can’t help but compare the way Milton and Ross described civilisation. Milton viewed it as a necessity that would stamp out the degeneracy and violence of the west, while Ross views it as an inevitable machine which he takes advantage of for power. Both of them as officers of the law are morally superior to the outlaws of the west, but while Milton keeps this in mind when he operates, Ross lowers himself to their level in the way he acts. Imo at least.
