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?

    yeah that’s my impression as well. being a child star really fucks you up mentally.

    then again i haven’t seen the documentaries.

      I agree, and the thing is we can never really know what someone is like all the time even if we get to know some aspects of them well.

      I’ve been shocked by things that some people I knew did, that I would never have thought they were capable of.

      I hope that is not the case for MJ, but it might be. And we’ll likely never know.
