I don't love that every time a famous artist turns out to be a fucking disgusting piece of trash loser evil shitstain that everyone always scrambles to say WELL THEIR ART WAS ALWAYS MID AND BAD ANYWAY. like dude just reckon with the fact you can't judge someone's moral fiber based on the art they make or the clothes they wear or the way they speak or fucking anything anything at all

doing my part to break this trend: i genuinely really liked lostprophets' music before it came out that the lead singer was a child predator, and i also still enjoy some kevin spacey acting roles like 'the negotiator' and 'outbreak'.

cognitive dissonance and discomfort intolerance are hard to cope with, believe me i know, but holding opposing viewpoints (e.g. "this person has caused harm to some people" and "this person has brought joy to other people") and finding nuance in the space between is an important skill to practice.

"This song slaps, but now that I know it's made by such a horrible person it gives me the ick and I don't want to hear it any more" is a perfectly legitimate stance. "This art is good but I don't want to partake in it because that will ultimately support artists who are using that money and support to make the world worse" is also a legitimate stance. "I liked this, but the author being so gross means I can't enjoy it any more and also the fandom has become a political nucleus for bigots so I'm excising it from my life" is another perfectly legitimate stance. You can choose to disengage with art for whatever reason you want, personal or political, it just. Doesn't mean that the quality of the art was always bad As Us Good People Knew (or should have known) because Good People make Good Art and Bad People make Bad Art.

Plus like, 90% of the time you’re dunking on kids. Like, no, I wasn’t stupid for liking books that were hundreds of pages long in a language I didn’t grow up speaking, or listening to music from countries I’d only ever visited. I love the ten-year-old girl I used to be and I’m not going to let adults bully her because they think they’re insulting me.
