What?? Are you saying a writer who writes about crazy shit is guilty of doing or wanting to do those crazy things?
If that’s what you’re saying, that is absolutely insane.
How sad would the world be if writers couldn’t put down whatever comes up in their minds. How boring and stilted every book would be if writers had to constantly worry about what people would think about their writing.
Of course they can and should write whatever inspires them, but ever since Louis CK, it makes me wonder if they’re writing about feelings they struggle with.
What are you talking about? I’m refuting your assertion by providing a simple example. Look I understand the sentiment that only a deranged mind could create certain types of art, but your example is very flimsy. I interpreted his muse story to be like folklore; tragic and cautionary.
The same line of thought though. A group deciding what is and isn’t art based on their own racist ideals vs you deciding the same thing based on your morality.
You assume any author thematizing rape has been or is involved in the subject in some way or form, even suggesting you should be allowed to question their sexual partners. How is that not art / thought police?
The “degenerate art” the Nazis hated the most was often actual gay people depicting gay love, related to general criticism of artistic movements, or a simple expression of anti-semitism, so keep trying to force this shitty accusation you clearly have a weak contextual understanding of, it does wonders for establishing the validity of your misinterpretion of my actual point.
Mit Verlaub, ich würde unterstellen dass als Deutscher mein Verständnis meiner Geschichte zumindest äquivalent zu dem eines sicherlich hoch gebildeten Amerikaners ist, danke vielmals.

Thanks for proving me right again, I don’t get tired of it.
A guy rode a dragon.
Only the mind of an actual dragon rider could write that sentence.
You don’t even know what my user name is, maybe stay out of discussions that require reading comprehension.
I imagined that the wyvern was a dragon but the precise etymology is dubious at best, as some traditions would call it a drake or a wyrm.
Which are all dragons so it’s not vague at all. If you weren’t confusing me with that Drag guy based on your sentence choice I’ll retract my comment.

It wasn’t the sentiment at all.
That’s just the meaning great minds decided to apply to a simple and objectively correct statement.
Which objectively correct statement? That writing the muse story proves he assaults women?
Entartete Kunst, right?
I’m not a Nazi and that’s not even what it means in context, so no.

I spreche ein bisschen Deutsch, du bist einfach ein Narr.
