Oh, deviantART.  
I would post this on deviantART, since that's where it actually belongs, but I'm a bit afraid it would create drama. So, I vent here instead. And I won't give specifics, just because.

I'd been watching a particular artist for a bit, because they had some ridiculously cute fanart. They weren't mind-blowing, but still quite good, and a thankfully unique style from most KH art out there. So, I friended them on dA.

And then, just today, I noticed one of the dA clubs they listed was a club that I absolutely despise. Like, goes beyond just normal fandom irritation that I can shake off, because hey, fandom is fandom. This club pisses me off with its unbelievable stupidity so badly that it literally speeds up my heart rate; gets me in fight or flight mode. A stupid thing to get so worked up over? Definitely. But it just gets under my skin in a way I can't even describe. So I defriended her on dA, and it's only the second time I've done a defriending. Even though her art is cute, I just can't appreciate it anymore even just knowing she runs in that particular circle.

But now I feel kind of petty for defriending someone over a particular club icon posted in their journal. I mean, that's their own business. Why does knowing that a particular artist associates with that suddenly immediately turn me off of their artwork? Shouldn't their artwork be separate from themselves? I really don't know what to think about myself for that. Has this sort of thing happened to anyone else? You really liked some particular art (or writing) by a creator until you found out they had a particular hobby/belief/passing interest?

Because this isn't a fun feeling. D:

P.S. I saw "Meet the Robinsons" today, and that was much more of a fun feeling. Will probably babble about it later.
