The artist and the product are two distinct thing, don't be stupid.

It’s not stupid to lump them together. When you consume art it supports the artist. Ex: If you buy a Lostprophets CD you’re financially supporting a guy who raped a one year old.

Then again if you like his music there is nothing bad either, he didn't hurt no child to make his music, so the product is legit and so is the buyer in my opinion.

Yeah you can have that view. That’s an opinion you can have. But you can also decide you don’t want your money going to a guy who rapes literal babies. That’s also a fair position to take.

My issue with your prior statement is that you said they were two separate things and that it was stupid to not separate the art and the artist…but again it’s completely valid for a person to not want to support pedophiles. Just because you don’t have a problem with it doesn’t mean that people who do are stupid.

You are right, both those opinions are valid. I was getting aggressive because i am use to meet fierce resistance when expressing my opinion on that matter, my apologies

when you support the product you're supporting the artist.

people tried doing this shit with kanye a few years ago when he started saying dumb shit. people kept separating him from his music because they liked his music too much to stop listening to it. now the dude is literally praising hitler. do you really wanna keep listening to the music and therefore supporting the dude that's literally praising hitler?
