What? You mean the fact that he was a disgusting Pedophile, drug addicted bag of scum, somehow makes him a victim of himself and therefore excuses him from all forms of condemnation?
I highly doubt that his eternal place will justify it that way. Even Adolph Hitler had “Great artistic genius” which does nothing to cancel out the great wrong he committed in his life.
“somehow makes him a victim of himself and therefore excuses him from all forms of condemnation?”
I did NOT say anything about excusing him for anything.
I said he will be remembered as a great artist and as a flawed and tragic character.
