CMV: You can separate the art from the artist, and you shouldn’t feel bad about enjoying it.

So, I’m going to keep this short, sweet, and to the point. It’s 2021, you can most definitely separate the art from the artist* (for the most part). Just because an artist, musician, film maker does something shitty doesn’t mean you ever have to feel bad about indulging in their respective form of media or expression. With modern day technology, yo I can enjoy anything with multiple avenues both legal and “illegal” of enjoying these works with out the artist ever seeing a dime from your pocket. For example, I can buy a records second hand, you can stream movies for free, you get the drill. So, I think it’s absolutely ridiculous anyone should make you feel badly about enjoying something just because a person did something bad in these modern times. You have infinite amount of ways to enjoy these things with a guilt free conscious.

But being a fan of them... is money in their pocket frankly. It’s not as direct as buying their stuff but it isn’t entirely gone. 

The more people that seem to like their music continues their relevance and often they use that power to continue doing bad things. 

People like Weinstien and R Kelly and Bill Cosby all went down right? And have all done bad things. It is no coicidence they all only went down in their most unsuccessful and less culturally relevant years. 

Making them less relevant makes them less relevant to everyone including people who would make deals with them.
