“but at the very least, we all know toxic people who must be stopped. Do we stop them, though? I think we fixate on the ethics of aesthetic consumption because it’s easier than dealing with the moral trespasses of real life. It’s easier to denounce an artwork than a family member, right? Or a friend? So ultimately, for me, all this talk about whether we should watch Annie Hall or dance to ‘Ignition Remix’ or whatever is a distraction from the larger problem: How do we prevent the mass rape and abuse of women and children? And what do we do with the offenders?”
