Actually, Fifth Element is bad because it was directed by a pedophile who multiple women have accused of SA.
No no no, that's not how we do critique of art. You have to look at wether or not something like a capitalist is depicted with any positive qualities. For example Wonder Woman is bad because it has a CIA agent in it.
More seriously I do think there is a discussion about art and artist being separate, but it's not one I feel competent enough to have. Harry Potter isn't bad because J. K Rowling sucks. The Louis CK tv series isn't bad because Louis is a piece of shit who assaults women (though that knowledge has made the series shift from comedy to a horror in a lot of scenes).
Fifth element has a lot that can be critiqued, like the whole "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope.
But art and artist is connected, so even though the art itself might be fine enough, there can still be reason to avoid it because of the artist - Fifth Element because of who directed it; whatever ZA/UM shits out because of what they did; a third example that makes you think I'm really smart; a fourth example that makes you think I didn't get it at all; and so on.
Was this just a whole lot of nothing, or did I say something?
