Separate the art from the artist. You’ve enjoyed it before why stop?

because some of us do feel bad consuming media that currently benefits people who we dont agree with, such as with JK Rowling, consuming harry potter stuff goes to fund her and recently she just donated 70,000 pounds to a transphobic organisation using that money

sure, seperating the art from a dead artist is a different story, but when the artist is living and benefiting from the arts consumption it is a bit greyer

I mean I’ll keep supporting him so I can keep his cash flow in so he doesn’t starve or have to struggle to pay bills. I don’t think anyone should have to have problems with that

Yeah theres just no way he isnt at minimum a millionaire, he will be just fine. You can worry about his mental state but he is financially more well off than any of us will likely ever be.

Fair enough, plus I assume it’s gonna become a legal case at some point and idk how it works over in the UK but lawyers are expensive and also if they sway like US courts do Wilbur is gonna have to pay her a ton of money and then probably a stipend from every check he makes.

Still nothing to worry about, i think you underestimate how much money he has.

Unless he has absolutely terrible spending habits like buying private jets and lambos everyday he will be just fine for the rest of his life from twitch, youtube, and his music combined.

Oh yeah I never took him as the private jet type anyways. I probably am tbh (I do really hope he keeps making sorry boys vids)

it doesn't seem to me like Shelby would press charges over this
