So many things including anxiety, deep depression, multiple extended existential crisis, ADHD boreouts, forgetfulness & resistance to schedules, Autistic sensitivity to bristles & the clean feeling of teeth, has contributed to the downfall of my dental Hygiene & health.

As I feared, I was scolded by the dentist & told to brush more often. I didn't want to explain any of my many difficulties so I just said "ok" in the most ashamed tone... 0/10 do not recommend this life or these problems.

@Onidotmoe Ppl who can separate the art should keep the art close, hold onto it, engage with it, and continue to allow their interpretation of it to inspire them because they believe that art is only the reflection of the viewers truest self.

The two sides never need to be enemies because the majority matters just as the individuals. After all, you wouldn’t have a majority without individuals.

@Onidotmoe With all of this said my final answer is that I think ppl who can’t separate the artist should denounce the art. Proclaim its terrible bc they believe art is an extension of the artist. Protest & boycott. Do what needs to be done for you’re own peace of mind without attempting to force others into your view of art or judge them for consuming it on their own views.

@Onidotmoe You said the way I talked abt the book was near religious, but the truth is that there are more than a few shows that’s touched me & shaped me that deeply. As an autistic who was essentially raised by the tv, I can confidently say that I was made by art. Theres been countless times that the majority said a certain thing in a show was harmful when that thing specifically taught me to love, treat others w/ kindness ect. The truth is nobody’s ever going to agree on interpretation

@Onidotmoe If someone can’t separate the art from the artist, it’s understandable due to arts nature. Some ppl see art as an extension of the artist, but it’s as equally valid to argue that art is only an extension of the viewer as once it’s made public, it completely belongs to the viewer to interpret, relate to and care for.

@Onidotmoe Many horrible things done in history has been in line with the views of the majorities. I highly value individual thinking, feeling & interpreting, especially for something as personal and abstract as art.

That being said, I recognize that the majority is made up of individuals and I never want to dismiss the majority for simply being the majority. Everyone should have a say in something as personal as art.
