Who is an artist or public figure you still enjoy despite them being cancelled for bad behaviour? (lemmy.world)

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?

I enjoy watching Jared Leto get beaten up in Fight Club...

He's the reason I won't see Tron: Ares.

Like why...him? Of all people.

Leto is impervious to cancellation somehow. He managed to tank Morbius in theaters not once but twice. Plus something like 9 sexual assault allegations. How are any studios still taking a risk on him? Either people are gonna hate any movie he's in, or he's going to get caught assaulting women again. Why, why, why, when there are so many men out there who are better actors and who don't assault their coworkers?

Because, unfortunately, he's basically the reason the movie got made. Nobody was really interested in making the movie, and he basically pushed to get it going with himself as the star.

I also am upset about this fact, and am not planning to watch it.
