If retweets aren’t endorsements, artistic/literary depictions aren’t meant to promote the person or personages being so portrayed. The map is not the territory anymore than the mapmaker is God. Holding a mirror up to society does not make one Narcissus. For what it’s worth, Socrates wasn’t very popular in polite society of his time and place either, but rather reviled and given an ultimatum: repudiate your interrogatory work of our society, or die in exile. He chose the latter on his own terms via quaffing hemlock, and he went down in infamy.
