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?

    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

      He was cleared of wrongdoing in a particular court (not others), not of being a terrible person. Many of the things he admits to exceed anything Spacey was accused of.

      …but I’m not even talking about that. I’m talking about Depps Robert Downey Jr. years (I forgot to mention Robert…one of the biggest sleazebag “comeback” stories): the years when he was a womanizing rock star junkie banging teenagers, hanging out with the Butthole Surfers, and was generally unemployable. We just pretend all that didn’t happen and treat him like he’s a victim of Amber Heard (who was like 25 v 48 when they got together…he practically raised her).
