I like sewerslvt, he's put out some pretty decent tracks. I don't dislike the hyper-edgy sadbrain aesthetic, sometimes I feel that shit. sewerslvt's work has kept me company during some real bad times.
as for his IRL personality and antics, sounds pretty standard for a BPD troon. threats of self-harm and suicide, unhinged emotional behavior, discord grooming and pedophilia. check, check, and check. unfortunate. but thankfully his art exists independently of that bullshit. when it comes to the relationship between creator, work, and viewer, I tend to lean mostly - not completely - towards the death of the author sort of thinking. whenever this discussion comes up IRL, I always say: Tom Cruise is a fucking lunatic, but I love watching him on screen. and when he's dead, his acting career will be his enduring legacy, while his insane personal life will never be more than an asterisk at the end.
the new Cynthoni joint is aight. I'm glad he didn't quit the internet forever. I hope he keeps developing his style and learning shit. Ethan, if you're reading this - shine on, you crazy motherfucker.
