So dude from the Protomen turned out to be a statutory rapist. Anyone else got experience with bands/musicians whose music you like a lot but who you have a hard time listening to now because they turned out to be huge scumbags in real life?

isn't the point of being a rocktstar or a performer to have sex with 14 year olds?

Potentially plain old rapist too? There was a lot of stuff about people in the band getting girls blackout drunk at cons to get them back to fuck them in their hotel room and a few of the ones who were being named were definitely underage. Him and the bassist were the big ones being called out

His girlfriend broke up with him and made a post online calling him out for cheating on her throughout their whole relationship and giving alcohol to/getting with underage groupies/calling out other people in the band for doing the same thing, then a bunch of other people basically confirmed it/came out with their own stories about being harassed or taken advantage of/were like "duh everyone knows about this", then the gambler started sending messages telling people to stop talking shit and deleted her blog after someone asked if she'd respond to what was going on

What would you do if every musician you knew did something horrible? Would you stop listening to them all?
Separate the art from the person

Yeah you can do that but it still sucks when someone you thought was cool is actually a dick who you shouldn't introduce your sister to
If I stopped listening to the music artists that were scumbags, I would have no music to listen to.
>>63199328
If they're an asshole and do shitty things then I probably wouldn't like their music as much. Most of the musicians I like have a lot of demons but most of them are mental illnesses or drug/alcohol addiction

You could listen to Weird Al
