It’s something I struggle with. Some bad news comes out about some public persona doing something shitty and they get cancelled. But sometimes I really struggle with giving up the things they’ve made because I like them. There are also occasions where the person has been accused of something and it doesn’t seem true to me, or I think they’re genuinely sorry and have been punished enough, and the context isn’t being considered.

What do you think? Who do you feel conflicted about enjoying?

    All of them whose work is any good. I give 0 fucks what society (especially the holier-than-thou) thinks & can separate the artist from their work. It’s really not that hard. 🤷

      i guess the only argument against this would be if you support them financially, of course with piracy being a thing its really easy not to… so yeah i dont get how people cannot separate the work from the person, i bet that most of the people downvoting you use windows which is “work” of Bill Gates, who surprise surprise is in the files. i think that matters much more then kanye being a dumb fuck on the internet and me listening to his songs from time to time without giving him any money.
