just wanted to add my two cents into what's been going on because i think it could be helpful.
the things about steve-o aren't new, even if new things have come out and linked other people to it, and all the information is important to know, him being a piece of shit isn't new. that's why me and a lot of other people don't choose to platform him on our blogs, even if we do post about jackass or the other jackass guys.
i also think it's fine to still consume jackass content like the movies or shows. jackass is an ensemble, certain cast/crew members are more popular than others, but there are still so many other people who put the work in to make this content that aren't horrible. while i wouldn't ever watch steve-o's solo stuff, and i've always felt uncomfy watching wildboyz, a lot of these projects are easily found on the internet archive so no money will go to the people involved.
also, basically reiterating what @endless-shrimp-tour said, a lot of things are problematic within the jackass sphere. i have endless things to say about how misogynistic and racist the early cky films can be, but i still watch them and like them. i absolutely hate the ai usage in the new fear factor content, but i still watch it for johnny knoxville (who also doesn't personal condemn ai).
i think it's very normal and REALLY good to be aware of the things in the media you like that you find weird or problematic. it doesn't have to take away your full enjoyment of the media, but you should be able to point out the things that are wrong, or the things that make you uncomfortable personally. not everything is black or white, and horrible shitty people exist, and they always ruin good things.
