[quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to be crazy and abusive to make good, interesting, innovative art. This is something people say to justify being abusive and exploiting others. It’s no different from any other industry claiming they couldn’t possibly operate without abusive/exploitative employment practices. Of course they can. But some people like to see what they can get away with. Having talent is a form of power, and you can get away with a lot. But it’s not necessary to the creative process, lol.

This behavior reflects a lot of immaturity and selfishness. That has nothing to do with artistic ability.

Also, while I like Lizzo’s music, she’s not SO groundbreaking that it justifies treating people like crap. If you’re going to argue that artists can be abusive because that’s what it takes to make great art, a handful of catchy pop/rap songs are not going to cut it. No one is going to care about Lizzo’s music in 50 years. She not great enough to make this argument, even if it were a valid one, which it is not.[/quote]
