Re: Are they problematic?

Short version: your post plays into a bunch of narratives about social justice and how we approach celebrity that tend to lead to really involved, vicious arguments and fights.

Longer version: I think there are basically two problems with your post. First, it treats problematic things in a really weird way - like a weird insidious darkness or sin that corrupts everything it touches, which comes from bad institutions and views, and which we have learned how to purify ourselves from, and that when someone has done something problematic that's it they're done they're evil - which I think is a weird approach and not one that ultimately makes a lot of sense in human terms. And that fundamentalism tends to lead to arguments and stupid conclusions and it's really black and white in a way that's wrong.

Second, I think, it's kind of hard to understand why if you really were concerned about Brian Blessed's life, you wouldn't just... google Brian Blessed (or, like, 'Brian Blessed politics' or something). So it's easy to look at that part of your post and come to the conclusion that you're not really interested in finding out about Brian Blessed - because there's easier ways to do that - and that you're more interested in stupid arguments about politics on fandom secrets dot dreamwidth dot org.

Hope that helps.

+3 but I don't think OP is sincere.
