[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Horrible to read.... especially as someone who experienced something similar from my own mother.

But yes, I will still read her. I can still enjoy the art even if the artist is problematic/horrible in their personal life. [b]Plan to reread some of my favorite short stories of hers with this information in mind, it's pretty interesting perspective.[/b] [/quote]
This is a really gross way to say you are separating the art from the artist. Seems like you’re getting off on the abuse of a child. [/quote]

[b]I think you’re the one with the problem.[/b] Art can and should be separated from the artist. Thinking PP is getting off on it?  I think you’re the gross one. [/quote]
No. There is no way to interpret PP saying “[i]Plan to reread some of my favorite short stories of hers with this information in mind, it's pretty interesting perspective.[/i]” than that they are taking pleasure in someone else’s trauma.

There is no “interesting perspective” about knowing a child was repeatedly assaulted and “keeping that in mind” while re-reading Alice’s short stories.

And you that are defending that PP, look deep into yourself. There’s something very wrong with you to think what that person wrote is ok. [/quote]

So you don’t watch documentaries about rape or assault, or read books about them?  Because that’s taking pleasure in someone else’s trauma?

Looks like millions of people are gross to you, then. Probably every person I know. I don’t really know anyone who doesn’t like to watch that stuff.

Yep. We’re definitely the ones with the problem.
