Oct. 7th, 2009 11:23 amI was already infuriated enough that David Lynch and Tilda Swinton are rape-collaborators. Seeing Monica Bellucci's name on that least just makes me sad. Now I have to recast all her parts in my books.

Angry AND disappointed
Oct. 7th, 2009 12:06 pmI'm angry, and probably shouldn't post when I'm angry, but I'm going to do it anyway. This anger isn't going away. So I will leave my opinion here for posterity.
The advent of the internet makes it easier to "meet" artists of all varieties, and therefore to discover that they're people with opinions just like everyone else, and those opinions often run counter to our own. Getting bent out of shape because an artist doesn't agree with you on everything is certainly one's prerogative, but usually a very silly one.
But I draw the line at basic human rights. Including the right not to be fucking raped.
There is no moral grey area here. There is never a time when rape is maybe okay. Or not really that bad. And if anyone says there is, they have lost any respect I might ever have given them. I don't care what kind of art you make, or what your other political views are. If you think rape is okay, I think you're a waste of skin.
