Reading about John Kricfalusi (the creator of Ren & Stimpy) and bloody hell, it's news to me. That makes it very difficult to separate art from the artist. Impossible even with that knowledge in mind. I think it is good that he's been exposed because it makes it harder for him to do that again, because he's lost that iconic status and gives the people involved acknowledgment, which must help with their healing. I don't think his behavior shouldn't be exposed to preserve memories of Ren & Stimpy, because he did it and deserves opprobrium. Some awful people made great art and I think if we acknowledge that it helps realistically assess great artists moving forward.
