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?

There is a line, I don’t have to love and agree with them on everything to enjoy an actor, but I refuse to support predators. Things like David Harbor cheating on his wife or the things people slammed Paul Reubens for I could really care less about, and I don’t give a fuck about their politics so long as they aren’t doing shit like J.K. Rowling and actively trying to ruin lives, however people like Diddy, Gaiman (whom I had personally loved for years), or Jared Leto can fuck off and die.

I still like Harry Potter. And Disney's Fillmore (lead actor was later arrested for domestic violence)

R. Kelly's music slaps.

Also he wrote & produced for damn near the whole industry, so the tree of artists you would have to dodge to not listen to his work is staggering.

Anti-Flag.

Absolutely sucks who Justin Sane turned out to be, but the music the group made together are still absolute bangers.

The Vornheim City Kit is a great resource for urban RPG, even though the author is cancelled.

TBH I tried to understand why, and when I did, stuff was still going through courts. I'm too wary of extrajudicial condemnation to take a side, but his associate, the LotFP guy, always gave me the ick for his edginess. So I'll continue to enjoy the book I got long ago and forget about them.

Garrison Keillor

Doug TenNapel.

Dude is a level 10 bastard. But Earthworm Jim was very influential to me as a kid.

The characters and the sense of humor; It just spoke to me in a weird and powerful way.

The games, the comics, even the short lived cartoon show was not too shabby.

Ga-roovy!

Kevin Spacey. 'K-Pax' and 'Swimming With Sharks' were so good.

Kanye can be as insane as he wants to be, it doesn't make Yeezus and TLOP any worse. 🤷 TBF I live a somewhat minimalistic life and I don't buy albums or anything, haven't gone to a concert in almost two decades... but a bop is a bop.

i love kanye sm i really think he has some bad mental issues. which doesn't excuse his actions esp since he seems to not try and get help. but like dude was/is going through some serious shit and is an addict and it's just sad especially since he's so talented
