I literally couldn’t care less if we lose good bands and good movies if it means outing sexual predators. Let it all fall apart if that’s what it takes to stop allowing these disgusting people safe places to abuse their power. Fuck your favorite movies, fuck your favorite tv shows, fuck your favorite albums. Stop defending bad people because they make good content.
The thing that drove this home for me was when someone (it was deep in a Twitter thread about Louis CK and I can’t find credit, so this is paraphrased) asked, “How about we mourn how much content we were deprived of by people whose careers were stalled by or who were silenced by predators?”
I still reserve the right to do both. Disillusionment is hard and I see no reason to pretend otherwise.
