someone who barged into a discussion about Nietzsche saying that they would never read him because he was racist and misogynist but also people should take their opinions on his work seriously.

a writer being reactionary doesn't preclude them from having insightful things to say and hopefully more hexbears start to understand this. my example for this that stuck with me is when i studied nozick in undergrad philosophy, and i personally found his 'experience machine' critique of hedonism pretty cool despite disagreeing with the rest of his body of work (obviously).
