Edit for reasoning-I tend to enjoy mean spirited funny stuff sometimes. Creators are typically kind of shitty/immoral people but I still enjoy it. I feel conflicted sometimes but still end up watching and enjoying.

    I can usually separate art from the artist, given that the media in question doesn’t reflect their opinions/isn’t influenced by their actions.

      Hitler was, if I’m being 100% honest, an OK painter. Terrible human, could have been a decent architectural artist.

      Woody Allen would be more topical and recent.

      This is why I dropped Harry Potter. And also, I did drop Disturbed (aside from one song, that being Decadence) cause I don’t want to support a band whose lead vocalist literally autographed bombs that were used in children in Gaza.

      That’s the deciding factor for me.

      I stopped listening to Lizzo so fucking fast because her actions and her art were in direct contradiction with each other.

      Being innappropriate with children will also make me stop consuming media from that person.
