Her words were inclusive, her deeds were, for want of a longer and protracted definition, evil.
Imagine a Nazi theme park where children are encouraged to defend the Fatherland against the Allied invaders and pack Jews onto cattle trains, etc.
Imagine a restaurant where you can choose to have waiters serve you wearing SS uniforms.
This is Dollywood.
Just swap the swastika for the battle flag of the Confederacy.
Were they her decisions? Well, she chose to put her name on it. Superficial changes were only made after years of being called out on it.
She still thought it was a good idea to have a light-hearted theme park based on the fucking Confederacy.

Evil is a rather religious word and hyperbole.
It is also one often reserved for the most heinious acts, not a tasteless theme park pitched to appeal to the American masses in the South USA.
That seems way out of proportion, at worst the theme park is propaganda.
She didn't actually own slaves, she was born there.
Compared to the shitshow in the White House and Congress it is a misdemeanor, thousands died from the covid response and withdrawal of aid, ICE even have camps.
I'm not a particular fan of hers but, evil is a very black and white judgement. Is there anything a Elon Musk fan like yourself actually approves of?

I'm not a Musk fan.
Even when I was something of a spacex apologist, long before the Nazi shit came out, I was very critical of his anti-unionism and his relationship with the truth. Go back and check.
I approve of humanism, class/sexual/racial equality, so naturally I lean towards anti-Nazism, anti-slavery, anti-Confederacy. I'm not sure why I need to defend myself, when I have not attacked you...
I also said evil is shorthand for what her deeds entailed, which was making a pro-confederacy theme park, for fucks sake. You think it's just tasteless to make a theme park celebrating a moral evil? Is me pointing out this obvious moral evil why you feel personally attacked?
The shitshow in the White House has ordered flags at half mast for Dolly. It seems their values were more closely aligned than you thought.

I don't feel personally attacked.
I just don't think it's quite that clear cut, I'd need to know more and I don't follow celebrities.

I would imagine that a reasonable person would count whitewashing the Confederacy as one of the most heinous acts, up there with condoning slavery or denying the holocaust..
I don't know all that there is to know about Musk, but I know he's a fucking Nazi. I don't know much about Parton, but I know she profited from a theme park dedicated to the pro-slavery Confederacy.
