oh my God, no, I don't consider that aspect to be bad at all. If she were just a mentally ill artist, I would admire her, and I wish I could.
The problem is that she was really, really racist, and it showed in her writing. I could elaborate if you want, but essentially she used other races as insults, and slurs for shock value, and compared genocide and racial struggles to her own struggles with depression. I don't blame people for not knowing that, it's not such common knowledge. I just know because I knew a lot of people who were very into her.
thanks for your input. I do love the name a lot.
