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?

You probably needed someone like him in a technical leadership role somewhere, the problem was that he became the face as well.

    And when he acts shitty towards somebody, he does it publicly, where he himself can also receive the backlash from what he is doing.

    He's not attempting to build a reputation as being a nice guy or a thought leader or anything. He is getting shit done, and anyone that's got a problem with it or him can either go do it better than him or stfu
