My personal rule, in broadest terms is that if I cancel someone, they are released upon death.
What warrants cancelling is pretty wishy washy, and I’m sure I’m hypocritical at times. But generally speaking, if the person is dead, I feel free to enjoy their body of work.
If the person is ruined, or in jail, it’s a grey area.
And if the person is continuing to work, with little to no repercussions. They’re banned.
Depending on the media and its importance to me, at a minimum I just ensure the problematic creator is financially dead to me.
Often the media will be ruined by the reveal of the creators nature, I’ll see subtext in it I didn’t see before. So that fixes itself.
But if I enjoy the media, I’ll continue to enjoy the media privately, in my own mind, from my own hard drive, in my own art. I’ll keep online engagement to a minimum (don’t want the creator getting any benefits from analytic trends) and I’ll make sure the creator doesn’t directly see a cent from me.
Basically, if I gave them money before I “cancelled” them, I’m going to get that money back in a round about way, they don’t deserve it 🏴☠️
