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?

      His video about what happened is very surreal. It’s on YouTube. I think it’s tied to his House of Cards character but has dual meaning?

      Indeed a great actor, but as a Trekker human being, fuck him for how he treated Anthony Rapp (the engineer from Star Trek Discovery).

      Totally.

      …and if you’re going to take down Kevin Spacey, he should be the 1000th male actor or rock star you go after.

      Like…yeah…people should decide if all the accusations (and no convictions) are worth anything…I think they are. But…why are people like Johnny Depp, Mel Gibson, Alex Baldwin, Sean Penn, etc still working…maybe even working more after crazy shit they did?

        Did Depp get accused of more than the Heard thing? He went through a trial and was cleared, I personally don’t think he deserves to be dragged, but that’s just me I know others disagree

        depp got way screwed over by HEARD, to the point of being blacklisted by hollywood, him suing heard was justified.

        Kevin spacey had legitimate SA/SH accusations against him, most of it dint stick because at least 1 accuser died before he could do it.

        mel gibson got cancelled by his antisemitic thing, but he mostly in christian films anyways. I think alec baldwins problem was him being careless with firearms.

          He didn’t. I get it…you fell for his bullshit on TV.

          You should really brush on on people beyond the one news story you remember off the top of your head.

      but hes been doubling down every since to deflect attention away, which pretty yucky. RAPP said hes over it? is he really, or he doesnt want to ruffle feathers in hollywood, which has more executives that are perverts.
