@dick_turpin I was about to post the same link. I'm glad there are cultured people here. 😀

@loke @dick_turpin ever since I learned Graham Chapman was a pedophile and John Cheese was a TERF, Monty Python stopped being as funny

I got the Graham Chapman biography, because I loved Chapman. It was not an enjoyable read. It really started to go downhill for me after he adopted a 14 year old boy, who was a runaway

"so much of the behaviour chronicled here - such as using his celebrity to "pounce" on unsuspecting young admirers, and the relationship he had with his teenage ward - would definitely be deemed "problematic" or worse today (and rightly so.)"

@webhat ...do you have a source for that?

Wikipedia mentions him and his husband adopting a runaway, with nothing about that, and I'd hardly put it past someone to go "oh he was gay and adopted a 14-year-old boy? Pedo!"

@webhat
...that and the first result if you look up his name with crimes attached is that there's _someone else_ with the same name who was convicted of such crimes.

So.

@pixx the biography is my source

@pixx oh, and BTW the biography is notable enough that Wikipedia liberally uses it for it's source material, I guess they ignored this part. It's in the book, you can find it when you look for the boy's name

You can Hate the artist and still love the art

Lots of people have been shown to be utterly terrible people after creating amazing things, it doesn't mean you have to throw all their work away in disgust

Wernher von Braun would be another worth thinking about, should we forget about using rockets because of his awful past?

@webhat @loke @dick_turpin 🤮 I had to look up this one. urbandictionary.com/define.php… Also: WTF, John? They used to be progressive champions, but I guess that is: looking back at the 60's...

Polish literal naive translation would be even funnier: Do not put nothing on nothing.
in reply to CatSalad🐈🥗 (D.Burch)

Translations from Japanese are bound to be extremely incorrect if the translator has no information on context, but this was worse than it usually is. It would even have been easier to understand it if they had used a literal translation (Please don’t put things).

The Royal Society For Putting Things On Top of Other Things, would find this rather silly!

I see the Tokyo branch of The Royal Society For Putting Things On Top Of Other Things also came to the conclusion that the whole things is just silly 😀
in reply to CatSalad🐈🥗 (D.Burch)

the error comes from the fact that the Japanese sentence doesn't say "on...". That part is implied. In context, it means "here", but an automated translator doesn't know that.
