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?
Tarantino.
I just know the guy’s a dickhole.
how the fuck did that guy get canceled actually don’t tell me I don’t want to know
Quinten exists in this weird state of permanent precancel. He does wild shit like openly writing a pro slavery character in a film with a black actor in mind and casting women specifically to see/interact with their feet. Yet he somehow keeps going socially.
Considering how easily people in any position of power get corrupted into abusing that power, I have zero trouble believing that there were black people enjoying their position of an overseer of other black slaves.
That’s a real thing that exist and was observed long before Tarantino.

And considering what goes on in Hollywood, Tarantino’s feet thing is probably one of the more boring things going on. Be glad they’ll all adults who know how to say no, unlike that Nickelodeon guy.
he’s perfectly fine. his art is fine. 0% cancelled
