I just had the briefest look at Hicks’ twitter and I could feel my blood pressure peak as I read a few of his tweets whilst looking at his smug face. So yeah, thanks for that!

By his own logic we can dismiss everything he says. Cate Blanchett actually makes that point in TAR while berating a student for saying Bach is too white and heteronormative for him. They all like to assume they have something that exempts them from their own logic, but don't realise what will happen once we do away with all straight, white artists. Then it'll be straight, black & male, or gay, white & male. Sure you're exempt from that line of thinking NOW. Until what's meant to make you special isn't special anymore

That scene in Tár is genius, and the student not being able to take the criticism is spot on.
