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?
It’s so hard to understand! Like it seems so obviously gross. But why is it ALL OVER THE PLACE‽
Is there something in the kind of brain that makes you take artistic risks that allows you to more easily think of people as things?
