"My thoughts and feelings about the art of X changed in Y ways when I learned about Z"
That's a comment in a conversation
"I went to the Wikipedia page of someone I hadn't heard of and pasted the first thing I saw in 'Controversies' into a thread"
That's a shitpost.
To take nothing from the art of shitposting, this is a random messageboard for conversations, not a random messageboard for shitposting.
- rgrieselhuber 3y agoYou conveniently ignore my directly adjacent post where I make it clear that I found this "controversy" while attempting to learn more about the author. The other commenters made him sound interesting, so I wanted to see what his life was like and it turns out that he supported a pedophile. Seems relevant to me as I would want to know that about an author if I'm going to start reading their books. Apparently these facts about him are just "random shit."
- pvg 3y agoYou conveniently ignore I could say you conveniently ignore the fact your comment was downvoted and flagkilled by other users. And like the other commenter, I'm trying to tell you why that happens - it's not, as you seem to think, because those users are keen on supporting an abuser.
- rgrieselhuber 3y agoObviously I didn't ignore the fact that it was downvoted because I specifically mentioned it. I just don't derive my opinions from group consensus or magic internet points. I stand by what I wrote, for the reasons I explained. I understand the argument you are attempting to make, I just don't buy it.
