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?
Ricky Gervais and Norm MacDonald engage/ed in transbaiting. Which is not cool, okay, or acceptable. But they are geniuses I can’t turn my back on.
Norm will always be a comedy genius to me, but Gervais, as much as I’ve enjoyed his stand-up in the past, has become a self-satisfied insufferable dickhead imo.
He was instrumental in the creation of “The Office” which is the most watched show in our household, but if he’s a transphobic POS then he deserves no respect.
That’s fine.
