Ah I remember that. I was worried there was some other hideous thing I’d missed, after the recent Alan Moore interview I probably wouldn’t have been able to handle it. Or possibly after the recent Alan Moore interview it would have seemed totally benign, what I’ve managed to read of that interview is quite bad.
If he is a shit then it doesn’t come across in his work at all. But if you’re still uncomfortable with it I can sympathise, everyone says Ender’s Game mostly preaches tolerance or something but I’m still not going to read it.
I can’t work out a pattern for how I react to learning that a creator is actually a complete tool. I really loved some of Frank Miller’s stuff before all the Holy Terror crap and that thing where he implied that the first amendment actually only protects the act of fighting muslims. Now I’m not even interested in the stuff I liked before. On the other hand I watched Chinatown knowing full well what Polansky was like and still really enjoyed it. Have you ever found out about a creator being a villain after you’d got invested in their work?
