Can you separate art from artist? A silly lil guy's perspective.

So as more and more artists with dedicated fandoms are outed to be incredibly problematic people with histories a lot of us wouldn't condone, the question of separating art from artist becomes increasingly more important. And I guess I just wanna throw my hat into the ring and talk about my perspective on what the idea of separating art from artist can look like, when it is and isn't ethical, and how we can practice fandom more conscientiously.

Can you ethically separate the artist from the art? My checklist of things to consider:

Is the artist alive? If not, who, if anyone, receives the checks for their work?

Is the art public domain, creative commons, or otherwise incapable of generating profit?

How many primary names are on a work? (E.g., if it's a book, how many authors are there? How many of those authors are you trying not to give profit to?

If the artist is a bad person, does the money you give them generate additional harm, or reduce harm? do they use their profit to donate to bad charities, or do they donate to good causes today despite having a history or view you disagree with? Would them having more money be a net positive or net negative? (e.g., this movie exec did horrible things 20 years ago, but has discontinued the behavior and now donates to positive charities like homeless shelters and thus reduce harm with their dollar vs. another movie exec has never personally done anything problematic with their body or mouth, but they donate to the KKK so they generate harm with their dollar)

Is the problem with the artist on an interpersonal level (e.g., this musician is known to be a jerk, an absent/abusive parent, and difficult to work with, but they never actually support any negative charities or uplift bad political figures) or is the problem on a larger scale (e.g., this painter is lovely to your face but supports charities and political figures that actively do harm)

Is there a way to engage in the fandom community without giving money to the problematic artist? (e.g. can you participate in the fandom without buying something the artist made?)

Is the thing you're trying to separate actually from one individual artist, or is it from a giant megacorporation? (E.g. a game made by a single indie dev vs a game made by a AAA dev)

How easy is it to not consume or interact with the art? Is it as easy as not going to a particular store that there are many competitors to in your area, is it a product you can live without? Would it cause significant harm to you directly to not engage with this media due to immediate pressure in your life? (e.g. if you don't want to consume media involving a certain artist, but your family is actively going to mistreat you if you make that choice, and you don't have the resources to get away from your family, maybe you are safer not actively avoiding this artist)

Does the art itself cause harm, regardless of the artist? (e.g. is the content itself racist, sexist, homophobic, etc., and if it is, is it important to read it anyway due to being able to better debunk the ideology? For example, a nonfiction manifesto from Andrew Tate would be itself a terrible, harmful book, but does reading it allow you to better counter the ideology and arguments of people who agree with him?)

Can you acquire the art without financially supporting the artist?

Anyway, those are just the immediate conditions I thought of off the top of my head that could potentially sway your individual ability to separate the art from the artist. My personal standards are that if you can interact with the art without financially supporting the artist or people who do harm, and if the art itself isn't inherently harmful on its content or messaging, then I personally can see a world where you can separate art from artist.

Also, separating art from artist isn't always necessary to consume media if you're doing so conscientiously. For example, if you're reading a historical text written by a dead racist, who wrote it with the intention to further their racist ideology, then you need not ask if you can separate the two, the question becomes "why are you engaging with it?" Are you reading this hypothetical text to see how ideologies like theirs spread? Are you trying to learn more so that you can be a better ally to the minorities around you by being better educated on dog whistles and calling them out in their own terms? Or are you reading it to see if there's merit to their argument?

Anyway, have a nice day and remember that you can be an ethical consumer of art if you truly want to be

Oh no, my wonder is not "childlike." My whimsy is old. My frivolity is steeped in ancient wisdom.

My silliness is battle worn. My awe at the world has been long forged through trial & tribulation.

I have earned this wonderment. I have protected it for decades against a society that tells me constantly that it should not belong to me.

I was born with wonder, and I have carried it, against all odds, with me through adulthood.

It is not "childlike" by now it is Older than me.

This is why all my pets get human names. That, and if an acquaintance asks me out and I go "sorry, I can't, Amelia can't be left alone too long," they assume I have a human child and they are much less apt to push it.

The downside to naming your pet something pathetic is the fact that, when something serious happens to it, you are faced with the harsh reality that it is a living being. So, when your dog Diarrhea Machine tragically dies due to various rattlesnake bites, do not expect me to feel great levels of sorrow.

To add: I am just so sick and tired of people bitching when they actually get what they want from EA

Like yes, ea as a company sucks. Every megacorporation sucks. We are well aware. That doesn't mean the expansion should be bitched about or that the people who actually worked to make the expansion happen don't deserve to be paid.

People who make the content need to pay bills.

Heavy sigh....

Sims 4 is doing another thing simmers have been asking for in the new expansion. Time to pull out the meme.

It's like they don't want EA to pay their employees istg

The Cheap Ass guide to making DIY packing underwear!

So as we all know, buying packing underwear is expensive, a pain, and it's becoming a minefield to find companies that are not ✨the worst✨ (looking at you, tomboyx.)

As such, I decided that I would make the cheap ass guide to making your own packing underwear.

TW FOR AN UNCENSORED PACKER (it's not heavily detailed, but it's out and about)

Supplies:

I'll start by saying that everything in this tutorial was purchased on Amazon, not because I like their business practices, but because it's cheap and accessible even if you can't drive or you need to hide what you're buying. If you bought from an adult website like RodeOh or a queer site like Tomboyx (which again, don't recommend them in specific), they may not always provide discreet packaging. But an Amazon package looks like an Amazon package no matter what's inside. It's always discreet by the fact that it's Amazon.

A pair of underwear of your choice (I'm using boxer briefs)

One no-show ankle sock in an appropriate size (I have a small packer, so my sock is the smallest women's size listed, 5-7)

Your silicone packer (soft packers work best for this)

Sewing needle

Sewing pins (technically optional but incredibly helpful)

Thread

Scissors

Info: you'll only need very incredibly basic sewing knowledge. Like, if you can knit the thread and do a whip stitch, you're good.

Step 1: Line up the sewing area

Turn your underwear inside out and lay flat, with the front area upwards. Lay the sock where you want your packer to sit on your underwear, right side out, with the ankle hole facing up towards you. Ensure that the heel of the sock is close to the waistband, and the toe is toward the legs. Pin your sock in place.

Step 2: Sew the sock in

Once you've pinned it in place, sew the ankle sock in at the top and bottom with a whip stitch. If you're new to sewing, start at the waist band for a small guide. The waistband has three lines of stitching, and if you go in at the bottom line, and up through the middle line, you'll get a good idea of the size of stitches you need once you go in for the bottom.

Step 3: put the packer in the hole and wear!

Seriously, that's it. Once you have your sock tacked into place, simply slide your packer into the ankle hole of the sock and put the underwear on!

Notes for use:

This is not the most secure method of sewing. double check the state of the stitching after every time you wash the boxers.

Ensure that you remove the packer every time you launder your boxers. There are enough pairs of boxers in the linked set that you ought to be able to wear a different pair daily. Just move the packer to the next pair as needed.

This can be done faster and more securely with a sewing machine. I recommend using a machine with a straight stitch if you have access to it.

Total cost of supplies listed (including shipping, tax, etc): $56.91

Cost of supplies per pair: $11.38

I hope you have a great day, and keep living for you!
