The extent to which moral judgements are appropriate with respect to creative works has long been the subject of critical debate. More recently, attention has turned to whether or not moral defects found in a given work also count as aesthetic defects. Ethicism claims that all moral defects are always aesthetic defects and characteristics that are morally praiseworthy are always aesthetically praiseworthy. I suggest a production-oriented counterexample, which seeks to undermine Ethicism.
