right on point. i wonder why people keep believing that any work they enjoy/like/happily consume is made by a good person

Is that a belief you've seen expressed though? Because I have a theory that Social Justice Warriors, and Snooty Moralists in general are somewhat extinct, and more than likely never existed at all.

They're the imagined enemy conjured by the right wing to make everyone have a feeling of having been judged, without any actual judges or judgements having been expressed.

A construct made of whole clothe , with no actual person present underneath, just propaganda pages and a feeling of having been wronged.

oh, they exist. but unfortunately they fail to see that the problem is not that the star rhey looked up to is acually a bad person (and therefor their work invalid) but that the very ideal of super-human like stars is the very mechanism that make those people get away with their behavior in the first place.

things wouldn't be half as bad if sexual misconduct of a beloved actor was tried as soon as it happened - and not swept under the carpet for some decades while the behavior continued to happen

Xi is a social justice warrior and xi knows that heroes are bad and a good community values ideas over people. Xi saw V For Vendetta.
