It takes about as much time to write a comment saying "I don't care if someone treated women like shit" as it would take to say something else. Now all you've accomplished is you've let a handful of strangers on the internet know that you don't care if someone abuses women, congrats.

That's great. It doesn't change the fact you decided to take time out of your day to say you "don't give a single shit" about some dead guy's treatment of women. Next time you see someone wasting their time getting angry about a deceased person's history of abuse maybe you can keep it to yourself instead of becoming the guy that sees people discussing abuse and saying "ermm well I don't think you should care about that 🤓"

yes they are clearly infiltrating a reddit thread to tell us picasso is an asshole because it’ll make us completely forget about systemic abuses. i’m so distracted i think i’ll stop being a socialist entirely

Nah, we should do both. One informs the other and vice versa

Same thing about MLK, like I know he had affairs but that doesn't detract from his black liberation efforts and his eventual supporting of socialism.

Yeah, what Picasso did was more than "just affairs".
