I saw this Tumblr post a bit ago and like, I agree with it! But it's got me thinking about how I kinda gravitate towards the opposite, y'know? Like, media that shows you all of the best things about the person or people that made it.

Like, I didn't need to see his anti-war copywriting and essays to learn about Shigesato Otoi's deep humanist streak and fascinating sense of humor, because his games, the Mother series, do such a good job of showing who he is and what he loves. I like that type of media.

There are more examples to give! Rembrandt's love for his sister as shown in his transcendentally beautiful portrait of Lisbeth van Rijn, Mossmouth's love of games and game design as shown in UFO 50, Tom Bloom's love of metal and people and martial arts movies as shown in Kill Six Billion Demons. Like, ugh, I love art so much!!!!
