The artists and people related with culture are humans after all, they have their problems like anybody else, nobody is saying here that are saints or impolute people. We've many examples of that, one quite recent is the singer of opera Placido Domingo. He have been an idol for many people to discover now that he is a fucking molester.
Many writers were absolute crap in their lives and wrote exceptional books, what we are judging here is their work not his lives. And imo there are much worse content that deserve those gigantic downvotes much more than the artists of HIVE which are mostly undervalued and sometimes even ignored.
It took a lot time, effort and patience for me to get anywhere in this world. A lot of folks here don't understand this world. It's up to the individuals to find ways to get attention though. Some people feel ignored but act invisible at the same time.
