I has this happen with the fifth element. I found out Luc Besson is a pedophile who has gotten multiple young girls pregnant. Including a 15 year old he started seeing when she was 13, who he left when she turned 21. The movie is so different knowing about him and his views & it really changes how i watch the movie. Its no longer a fun feel good movie for me. Especially because two of his young wives star in the film.

Death of the author means you separate the art from the artist, and sometimes it also means you wish they were dead

It’s sort of frustrating to me when someone says they liked something and immediately someone just says “blah person involved is an abuser.” It feels so smug.
