Artistic Hypocrisy

I was just browsing through art to see if there was any new Ayn Rand fan art up on Deviantart--the Rand fan art rate is fairly slow, but occasionally I spot a nice one.

I frequently come across Rand-fan-art with descriptions below it that go something like this:

"I decided to draw (insert some part of an Ayn Rand novel here)...I dunno, I was reading the book, and just had to. I can't stand Rand's ideas, though. The philosophy is horrible."

Then why, for the love of all that is sacred, did you take time out of your life to emulate her philosophy through your artwork?

WHY?

Do you not understand what art means? As an individual who creates, you choose to create what you value and what you think should be expressed in concrete form--in essence, you see something you think is worthwhile, and you record it and/or try to convey it to millions of people on the internet. Why would you draw a hero or heroine of a book whose philosophy you claim to deplore? These pictures are never drawn in a hateful way, either...they're generally quite attractive, but I cannot bring myself to place them in my favorites list because of the blatant hypocrisy in your claims of hating Rand's ideals. Something in the book compelled you enough to draw it, and draw it in a good, heroic light. You show reverence for it by drawing it...and you turn around and claim to hate that very reverence?
