| Topic | Where do you draw the line for supporting abusers or those guilty of misconduct? |
| Johnbobb 11/11/17 5:05:57 PM #7: | I mean it's hard to say like I can think the person is a piece of shit and still like the things they've made Mel Gibson is one of the most despicable pieces of shit out there, and has been for a long time, but last year I still saw Hacksaw Ridge and it was a damn good movie and Kevin Spacey's controversy doesn't make his performance in Se7en any less impressive it kind of goes along with what MZero said, and I actually had basically the same conversation with someone back when allegations came out against David O Russell the year American Hustle came out. They were the type of person who essentially many conservatives might stereotype liberals as. They insisted that because of the allegations, the movie should be denied any Oscar nominations (including Best Actor/Actress ones?) and that anyone who sees/enjoys the movie is a bad person. And of course that's going too far, because they're one person in a staff of a few hundred. Musicians are trickier though. Like, I don't know if I'd really want to see a live show of someone I knew has sexually assaulted people, but then again, that's never happened with any of my favorites (that I know of) so it's hard to say for sure. and I hate to say it, but I guess it also depends on the extent? Like "drunkenly groped someone one time" is different from "had a multi-decade long string of sexual abuse that they paid people to cover up" --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
