All art reflects its artist.

For example... Minecraft... The villagers are well known as a racist Jewish stereotype which directly reflects its former heads actual real racism against Jewish people.

This is not saying that Minecraft is bad, in the same way that the Goblins from Tolkiens stories don't make Tolkien bad... But the art directly reflects the artist.

In something like Minecraft, there are too many hands in the pot at this point for a single voice to be the cause of writing off the whole game but with Adams, Polanski and Stone toss, there is no way to separate their art from them. They are the leading/sole voice and that voice is very easy to hear in what they write.
