That’s not really the vibe I’ve gotten from her. I mean she has her fingers in a lot of horrific pies. Simply a blight unto the world. I’ve heard her called the mother of demons and frankly not far off. But from everything I’ve seen (so far) it’s not that she’s personally involved in any of this, it’s just that she didn’t give a shit. She wanted the ratings. She wanted the story. She didn’t care if the story was true. She didn’t care if the story had horrible consequences. She didn’t care if people got hurt. She didn’t care if her fans were literally handed to a rapist because of her stories. All she cared about was moving those dials and everything else was immaterial to her . She just doesn’t give a fuck. Which might be worse. I don’t know.
At some point, the realization kicks in that what you’re doing is causing harm, no matter how far down the road. When you decide to keep going anyway, that’s your moment of sitting at the table with the nazis. Doesn’t matter if you’re totally removed from the evil doings, you’re helping, and you know you’re helping. And you’re okay with it.
She may never get there because she doesn’t support the monsters just their work. She separates the output from the creator and uses that gap between celebrating a book/movie/etc from the terrible person responsible for it. In her mind she isn’t promoting someone awful. She must be willingly blind to what’s happening because of the celebrities she promotes.
That the definition of a horrible person. Most of these people don’t, for example, rape children because they’re evil. They do it because it makes them feel powerful, and they don’t care about the harm it does. Rarely are there people who’s actions are actually inspired by doing harm. It’s much more common for it to be done for their personal benefit and not giving a fuck about what happens to others.
The other common form of evil is the banal kind. People who are just doing what they’re told, not questioning it. They’re told their doing things that are great for their nation/society, but they have horrible consequences for many people. They aren’t doing it out of malice, but out of ignorance or complacency.
