To be honest I've always been the type of person who can separate the art from the artist easily. Whether it be Kevin Spacey and roles like seven or any of the Quentin Tarantino movies that were bankrolled by Harvey Weinstein, it doesn't matter to me. The only thing I've ever done was never watched a Roman Polanski movie because of the whole raping a 12-year-old up the ass being found guilty and fleeing to France.
I get that some people can't watch ren and stimpy anymore, but the fact of the matter is had The Big Three animators of bakshi, kricfalusi and groening not come along in the '80s and '90s animation would probably still look like trash. Think of the cartoons like He-Man and thundercats that literally had no effort put behind them, and then people like that Ralph bakshi open up the door for Peter Chung to make aeon flux.
Ren and stimpy walked so that the adult animation you see on cartoon network could run. Not to mention that I was a young boy during its heyday. I could never turn my back on characters who I love so much.
Hate the man, enjoy the art.
