I think that’s part of why I’m comfortable still enjoying the work of “problematic” authors (with reservations.) They’re dead and they can’t sue people who criticize them into oblivion. Obviously there’s more to it than that but that’s beyond the scope of a skeet to explain
In regards to what is going on right now, I’m disgusted, outraged and horrified; there are stories that meant so much to me that are irreversibly tainted that I can’t go back to, but I’m at peace with that because there’s so many more stories out there that I don’t need to cling to these.
I think this stuff is murky and defies easy rules, but death is a useful, clear line for me. I have zero problem contributing to a shitty dude’s *estate.*
