“The content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of its author.”
Allow me to be clearer, because I think you misunderstand.
Your personal interpretation of the content of a piece of fiction does not reflect on the morality of it’s author.
Also on the website infamous for the worst most bad faith media takes not even god could condone I don’t think we should be taking others word on an authors morality based in their text
I’ve described this website’s relationship with media interpretation as “beating the author’s corpse”#where they’ll claim death of the author to defend a blatantly bad faith interpretation#then use that interpretation to call the author a fascist
