Can you guys fuck off? Last thread you got butthurt at this general—and here you are again. Don't you guys have Shakespeare threads to seethe in? You wonder why we complain about ESL but yet you show up just to be a nuisance; maybe your country doesn't teach manners or something.

>They appealed to moral sentiments, not the intellect.
Try reading a book anon, if you think this you know literally nothing about Wagner. Just start off small and read this introduction to some of the thought behind Wagner: https://www.roger-scruton.com/articles/275-wagner-and-german-idealism

It's very basic and suited to your level, and you'll probably find Wagner is more akin to you than you think, with someone like Feuerbach and all.

>On top of this, even if Nietzsche did visit brothels according to the doctor's advice, obviously it didn't make a difference, as he continued his philosophical thought in his own direction and eventually succumbed to what appears to have been a lesion in the brain.
Yeah I'm arguing with that imbecile, no one's saying Nietzsche actually wanked.

>Nietzsche's genealogy of morality = slave "races"(dumb term in this context and incorrect to use synonymously with Nietzsche's aristocrats and "Ubermensch") need to repress sexuality for creativity because they aren't strong enough to both have sex and be creative
No where does Nietzsche say this and it's only reductive of his system.

>implying Wagner's protagonists are often deeply flawed
Even if we ignore all this, Wagner is not going to bother with his extremely precious time making a rapist the protagonist of one of his artworks, or have the same lightness of emotion as a Shakespeare is able to create with his far greater time as a poet not alone and not both a musician AND a poet. And having to figure out how these are going to relate together instead of just the typical Opera which exists only for the nice sounds, like Italian Opera. As nice as those sounds might be.

Rape can be noble, but not in as simplistic a sense in which you hold it as if it can either be "le good rape, or le bad rape" because rape will always entail its own nature, and a lack of compassion. And almost always, moral nobility. Your "critiques" of Wagner go equally to a Dante or Shakespeare, and for this reason are not specifically critiques of Wagner, just empty complains of one not familiar with Wagner's art.
