    i mean yeah, she’s a cottonheaded ninnymuggins, but she did create the world and characters.

    you can’t take that away any more than you can take beat it from michael jackson or louie from louis c.k.

    i’m torn on the whole separating art from artist thing, but you can’t just remove their authorship.

        well, because when a person invents something, they are credited for making it up. we all have to make our way in this world, and removing someone’s ownership of their creation because we don’t like what they say (as we both clearly do not) is a pretty dangerous way to operate.

        that knife cuts going in just as well as it cuts coming out. what are they going to take from me or you because they don’t like what we say?

        how about we just stick to making memes and making fun of her? also telling people that she only loves her fellow humans if they fit her narrow criteria, making her a pretty awful person.

        or, just don’t watch the fuken show.
