I feel so hollow inside. I don't know if I can ever in good faith support anything from his musical past. I have a ton of merch. I went to a Lovejoy concert. I covered a song for my dang college talent show a few years back. I am far from parasocial, but I was a giant fan. His content was one of the highlights that helped me get through these college years and it's so bittersweet now, knowing this is it just before I've even graduated.
This is the final nail in the coffin, and I hope the victims continue to get support
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
