Is there ever such a thing as an excess of irony?  Does irony every become toxic?  Incapacitating?  

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.  The Shadow knows.  Hoo-hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha-HAAAAAAH"

Covid Rant goes METAL! [San Diego Board of Supervisors meeting Remix] https://youtu.be/052iTp04DRY

We've broached the ethics of enjoying the fruits of problematic people before. My favorite example is HP Lovecraft's racism and xenophobic inspired, insanity inducing otherness. But even HG Wells had some brushes with anti-semitism. The world is replete with examples of good art extruded from bad people.

This is yet another example. It takes a particular kind of mind to watch that dude spitting all over that microphone and see it as poetry.
