I can tell you with absolute certainty that number is much much lower, like 0. As soon as humans learn to talk they lie, then they learn to repeat wrong things, in the 20s it's wrong things with confidence, late 20-40s is fabricating reality from whole cloth, 40/50s+ is falling for their own lies.

So far the legality of an act has not impacted their thoughts at all 🙃

In much the same sense that our vice president has fucked all the couches in the oval office and the Roosevelt room.

The problem isn't that misery is hot in the summer. Misery is misery. The problem is that Boston is 100 degrees.

Ah yes the famously unbiased source you definitely aren't parroting: the US supreme court.

Fun fact the intelligence trajectory of humans ends up so that you could be feeding a small child a pig that is smarter than they are.

Kids? It seems like adults are far more likely to parrot quackery they found on the internet.

Why are you pushing socialist lies on our big beautiful society?

It sounds like there are forms of consumption that you view as less problematic? Reading alone, maybe ok? Reading alone and then telling your friends what a great book it is, not good. If this is the case I think I'd agree.
I do think the social part has value: others may tell you the author is 💩

I didn't think I was acting that way. I thought I was saying I view it as much much more important than the soft power...and ran out of characters.
I guess I'm not sure why you think that last part. If I read a book at home, alone, or listen to music, how does the influence spread? I'm not doing it
comment in response to
post
I think this jumps the rails a little bit from work with the purpose of entertainment to work with the purpose of influence but I get your point.
My counterpoint would be that Alice in wonderland didn't lead to generations of pedos despite the author. So why does someone enjoying that book matter?
comment in response to
post
She retains power and influence because people are willing to still give her money by buying new books or movies or plays. If there was no money in those things, her influence would evaporate.
comment in response to
post
I do but clearly I think the value of that soft power is lower than you do. The canonical example where this argument comes up is with Rowling. Its obviously the case that if nobody ever read Harry Potter nobody would care what she tweets. But money is deeply intertwined here.
comment in response to

Oh as far as I know I don't support any of these people. I've sadly given up on several authors who turned out to be creeps. I'm still arguing that it should be possible to appreciate the work without supporting the creep. Just as it's possible to still enjoy Alice in wonderland despite the author.

Presumably the author cares. And their publishers. And their enablers. Money is what makes them able to do bad things and get away with it.
Pirating their shit because it's still nice to read and reminds you of childhood seems very reasonable to me, I don't know what to tell you.

That sounds extremely limiting, given how horrible people are and have always been, but if it makes you happy you do you.

Due to char counts I left out what I thought was implied: you can't financially support them. You will see this in my first post which is why I thought it was implied.

You've taken this conversation to a place where if I attempt to make any generalization past the very specific examples provided by OP you will shoot it down because you only want to talk about those two assholes. I don't find that interesting. Bye.

I honestly can't tell if you're serious or just pissed off. If you're serious I'd encourage you to review every single artist of any kind you have ever enjoyed and double check that the artist was not a bad person. I don't want you to accidentally enjoy those things.
comment in response to
post
So your argument is there are no bad people within the entire set of music, books, art that are appreciated by 20-somethings? Or that such terrible people are as uncommon as Godzilla sightings?
My point is: I think we should hold every adult to the standard of evaluating their influences.

Yep, like most people for most of human history

I don't think that's really the point

I don't know how to describe that other than a free pass, so I'll just have to for my side agree to disagree on that one.
comment in response to
post
The general theory is that if they make good things free of their personal evil, it should be fine to appreciate these things. Otherwise I assume you have to pretty heavily limit your appreciation of the arts prior to about 2025 because of how awful people were back then in the dark ages.

If there were a way to donate glitter bombs to immigrants so even if they get kidnapped it at least tags the abductors I would do so.

Why would they turn around when they are so close to their goal?

Why do 20-somethings get a free pass? I would encourage adults of all ages to have a moral compass that says abuse is bad and giving money to abusers is bad.
Thank god Spotify exists, letting you enjoy the work of abusers while making sure they get literally zero money. Thanks Spotify!

How much overlap, exactly, do you see between the groups who say A, B, and C? I mean there's Rowling and some other human garbage like the NY times editorial staff but...I've never heard this from an actual person.

MAGA scum have extraordinary abilities... To maintain cognitive dissonance. Most are vaccinated. They might say vaccines are bad, sure, but they still had to take their cruise. You can't expect them to give that up over a trifling little poison death shot pushed by the senile Illuminati demonrats.

So you're saying they have a home they won't sell and won't live in, this driving up both rental costs and purchase costs in an area they don't even live?

If you use a calculator like from Zillow for how much house you can afford, they would recommend 63/hr or 125k/yr for a median house. The median *family* income is 40/hr.
comment in response to
post
But in trade you get punitive installments. The median us home price today is 416k, which means the median mortgage in today's market is 3k/mo+ taxes, insurance, and punitive fees. Ignoring the recommendation to only spend 1/3 of income and bumping that to 1/2, you need $36/hr wages to buy a house.

How did you get rent that cheap tho?
