You REALLY want an answer that much? My point is - my life is too fucked to care about frivolous bullshit like art vs artist.
It honestly feels like people get a sense of sick satisfaction out of shitting on different things cos “person bad”. I hate to use a term of the alt-right but it’s “virtue signalling”.
I ultimately don’t give a flying fuck. I’m SO fukcing sick of going into a music post on Reddit/Lemmy/whatever and seeing a ton of top comments saying “Oh this person is a wife beater/raper/pedo/druggie/fuckup/etc”. They’re fucking killjoys?! Why can’t people just enjoy the fucking music as-is?
But since you pushed me I’ll give it a go…
I used to be a Lost Prophets fan and even saw them live. But I’m now bored of them. I could say “I wouldn’t listen to them cos of the lead singers crimes” but really? I don’t care and I’ll never listen to it cos I’ve moved on from their music. If I found myself dancing to one of their songs without realising it and someone said - “This is Lost Prophets!! Don’t you know what the singer did?!”. I’d be like “Oh, ok. Thanks for ruining my good mood”. In other words - they’re the dick for bringing up a horror by the artist rather than just letting someone fucking bop along to it.
Michael Jackson? I was dancing to his Bad album a few months back in my living room. I don’t care about his crimes. I loved his music as a kid and still like it now. Nostalgia wins.
People like RHCP, Marilyn Manson, Aerosmith? I don’t care. It’s music, it’s not a lifestyle choice. Me listening to RHCP or Manson doesn’t mean I support their actions.
Do I care they get money if I stream their song?
Not really. Life’s too short and fucked for me to waste energy on that. Live and let live. Stop raging at things that happened in the past. It doesn’t change anything. It’s a waste of energy.
My life too much of a mess to give a shit about things like this.

Did we ask about your life ? If you don’t have anything to add why bother at all ?
