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?

    Probably performers like Jared Leto and Marilyn Manson. They’ve made some great albums (A Beautiful Lie and Antichrist Superstar) and movie appearances (Requiem for a Dream and Lost Highway), but I understand why they give people the ick.

      Agree on Leto.

      Marylin Manson? Meh. Guy was a Fisher Price philosopher for tween goths….almost to the point of cult leader, he always got a pass on that. His appearance in The Lost Highway was purely aesthetic.

      the joke going around, the latest TRON COVER, the reason where there is no women on the cover of poster, is no woman wants to be next to him. while every other tron poster has a female/male couple.

          Yeah I’m going to have to push back on the affected part of your comment. As we both agree he hasn’t been canceled and as some of those allegations are years old and as your article points out it’s basically an Open Secret. Yet he’s still been getting movies for years and has more projects on the way. Hell there were a few articles in June like this one when it was posted, but since then basically nothing. If he’s affected it’s clearly not seriously.
