True enough. It does seem that some people get to live down their youth and others don't though. I do know that I have ceased a few imagery and fashion things because it definitely makes people misjudge me and I've seen it hurt people that I know enough not to engage in certain trappings just because they are interesting in an occult way or were fascinating for one reason or another. I have never been a right-wing person and I don't really need to invite headaches when I can engage any number of interest and be artistically satisfied. I don't like this era of litmus tests and I do think the art and the artist can be separated if the art is non political in nature, but this is not really a time for expecting nuanced thinking out of people. Given the state of the world, ambiguity and such are not really a great path to take these days.
