With the latest evolution of Kanye West into Uncle Ruckus, I can't listen to or enjoy his music anymore.
There's a ton of other entertainers in the same boat for me. People who's personal lives or opinions are too vile for me to engage with their art.
Louis CK - I would have been willing to forgive him if he showed any legitimate growth or apology, but he hasn't. His material has turned to crap as well (that unreleased movie of his was unbelievably awful).
Bill Cosby - Impossible to enjoy his content at this point.
Bill Maher - Centrist boomer, Islamophobic, likes to drop the n-word. Basic edgelord.
I'll add any that I remember later.
Who's on your list?
If you're above it, perfectly able to enjoy art made by awful people, good for you. I just can't disconnect the art from the artist.
