second verse, same as the first; people have always demanded bona fides. they just gets louder on the internet. it's wrong and cruel and frequently misses the point of what art is at all, but i've given up imagining that humanity, in general, will ever learn a thing from its own past, even if it happened yesterday.
i don't know if you've read this article about the attack helicopter story situation, but i found it helpful in sorting some things out in my head in a general way. (specifically, that most people don't know how to separate the artist from the art (or even the writer from the narrator), nor do they comprehend that them not liking something doesn't automatically make it bad, for whatever value of 'bad' they're using that day. honestly, i thought that was all reading comprehension 101, but i acknowledge how very wrong i was about it.)
