In this follow-up episode, I address some of the responses to my critique of "Onyx Storm" and clarify my stance. While I hold firm on the importance of artistic integrity, I explore the nuance of separating the art from the artist—using Pablo Picasso as an example of a brilliant creator with questionable ethics. I also want to make it clear: I have no issue with Rebecca Yarros' success or her profit-driven approach. This episode dives deeper into the complexities of art, morality, and the ever-evolving landscape of literary fame.
