Can you separate the artist from the art?

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

I remember that. Did Melanie ever release a statement or say anything?

She wrote a paragraph on instagram saying that she was “horrified and saddened” by what Timothy has accused her of, and said that they shared a friendship together and that she never said no to what they did together. She also make a song called “piggyback” that was apparently a response to the allegations. Overall it was a messy situation and Melanie’s response made me a little upset. Like, just because she never said no doesn’t mean she was okay with it.

If the artists do something really bad but i like very much their art i try to enjoy their work illegaly. So 0 money for this people.

depends on what they did...

everybody has a different moral standard for what is acceptable and not acceptable...

for example I'm still a fan of Eminem and he's done some pretty bad shit (not the worst but still)

like someone above said marriage and babies may be a sin in Korea (aka Chen and certain of this fans burnt his merch and albums and whatnot - I think it was 12 fans????) but it's a total non issue for me

Generally not, no. I'm not a forgiving person and if somebody has done something reprehensible, I usually wipe them. I won't support anything they do.

No I don’t separate the art from the artist but this is based on my own moral compass. General one off incidents or ignorance is not something that would stop me from enjoying someone.

But take JKR for example she is transphobic openly and she does it over and over again and wants to die on that hill. I cannot separate the art from the artist for her. I cannot enjoy or talk about or feel excited about Harry Potter the way I once was.
