Well, going through the worst political cartoons, there's the one crazy conspiracy guy who draws lizard jews, and another guy who makes nationalistic paintings stating liberals and Obama are evil and possessed by satan.DavidDees

I can think of a few furry artists I could name, but in a few instances their "bad people" has led to them becoming "bad artists" through arrogance regarding their art style leading to making mistakes more pronounced.
But then I'm blatantly biased against them.
Adolph Hitler was among the first to come to my mind. I like a lot of his art. It was dismissed in his time as being mediocre, but he did have an eye for detail and texture in a lot of his stuff. I can relate because I strive for the same in the pictures I draw. All he needed was some encouragement and honing and people could have been praising him today as a great artist instead of condemning him as the megalomaniacal madman he became. I really wonder if that would have made any difference, though. I don't know... that's a topic for a different thread entirely.There is a novel about that very thing, exploring the two lives of Adolf Hitler (the one he actually lived, and the one he could have lived had he been accepted in the Art School that rejected him before WWI). It's called La Part de L'Autre by french autor Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. It's incredibly poignant and well written. I wonder if it was ever translated in english though.
Anyway, it's weird how things work out the way they do, as well as extremely sad at times.
...Unless the term "artists" only meant musical artists. If so, forget I said anything here.
Orson Scott Card. Homophobic asshole, but I still like his books.HP Lovecraft. Racist as fuck.

Edit : apparently not. Though it was translated in german.
Ayn Rand was quite the jackhole, but I still enjoyed Anthem. It's a nice little story if you don't read much into the politics.

How about Harlan Ellison? What a douche he is.True dat. I've seen him give talks and on panels at conventions. He's an ass.
Andrew Hussie (he knows good and well what. He did)

*raises hand* I don't.
Andrew Hussie (he knows good and well what. He did)Did he kill off your favorite character?

I think it's more that one comic he did a long time ago or something along the lines of that, which I've heard of or haven't seen. I haven't asked what it could be since I'm sure Homestucks refuse to speak of it.Andrew Hussie (he knows good and well what. He did)Did he kill off your favorite character?
Attack on Titan he said Koreans should be thankful for Japan's agressionWho? Do you mean one of the people behind Attack on Titan? I think that's what you meant.
.......no i mean the one guy behind the mangaOkay, I get you now.
That's Spoony. I actually enjoy his reviews, but didn't post some rape-y stuff on Twitter once?
It was a joke, just extremely poorly done. It's possible to make that kind of thing humorous (as seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqgiEQXGetI)), but simply making a statement of "Imma kidnap and rape you" has no humor. There's no punchline, no connection to anything that could turn it into something funny. He's just expecting it to be funny standing on its own. Rape jokes are almost impossible to make funny, and Spoony never even came close.If you're going to be offensive, at least put effort into it, don't just go L0LZ0R5 R493!!!!!!111!!!1!!
It's part of the reason PewDiePie got such a hatedom: he not only made a stupid amount of rape jokes, but they weren't even jokes. He just said stuff like "Imma rape you" over and over like an elementary schooler who learned a dirty word.
also good artist but a bad person whoever painted all those portraits of Beethoven he was not whiteHe wasn't? What makes you say that?
How about Euronymous? He was one of the most groundbreaking guitarists in extreme metal, but he was also a sick bastard.
He's a White Nationalist, but not a Neo-Nazi. He believes in democracy, for one thing. It's a bit of a sticking point for him.How about Euronymous? He was one of the most groundbreaking guitarists in extreme metal, but he was also a sick bastard.
Or Varg Vikernes for that matter. Great musician, but he's a batshit insane Neo-Nazi.

He's not American. He's Norwegian. And he's a monstrous racist, he just doesn't like fascism.He's a White Nationalist, but not a Neo-Nazi. He believes in democracy, for one thing.

Which means... what? "America's for the white people, but the jews and blacks are okay"?
Not Rammstein
I dunno if they were trying to be ironicI think they were, because I lawled at that stunt. Poking fun at hypersexual macho fantasy, mayhap?

Err, thanks for informing me.
On that note, most people in extreme metal are massive sexists, homophobes and transphobes.
Rammstein's concerts are weird like they are one of the few pyros who actually know what they are legally doing

What I mean by "extreme metal" is doom, thrash, death and black metal.Err, thanks for informing me.

Most? I disagree. Though it might depend on what you mean by extreme metal. Although I am aware there are a lot of neo-nazi metal bands but almost none of them have any kind of mainstream succes and they tend to be very underground, no sane record label would touch them with a barge poll.
I don't know how anyone can claim to be a fan of any kind of metal and be homophobic anyway when one of the most important and influential figures in metal history is gay. I apologise if this is a bit of a "no true scotsman" but anyone like that IMO isn't a real metal fan and can fuck right off.
Yeah actually said guy had a hard life and he's the whipping boy in the music videos so it might be his way of copingRammstein's concerts are weird like they are one of the few pyros who actually know what they are legally doing
The lead singer is a trained and licensed pyrotechnician isn't he?

I think that is him trying to cope. Either way its rather Germanic
