With all my new found knowledge of this sick system, I find myself thinking, "oh, I hope they aren't a pedophile" when I see some people. I was so disappointed about Will Farrell. "Elf" and the Lego movies are some of my favorite movies. I'm hoping Steve Carrell isn't evil, and really the whole cast of "The Office". I also like Kevin James, Chris Pratt and Keanu Reeves.

This is a bit of a dichotomy for me. On one hand I've always said you dont have to hate the art just because the artist is a bad person. I still used to listen to Michael Jackson when everyone thought he was a pedophile, Michaelangelo also loved little boys, John Lennon beat his wife and kids etc...
On the other hand, with actors its damn near impossible to look at their faces without feeling unbridled rage, especially since they're aware of what's going on and actively partake in it.
I guess for me I just try my best to disassociate the individual with the entertainment, otherwise you literally cant watch/listen/appreciate anything (Disney is something I cant forgive though, and every show I watched growing up has now been ruined). All the modern stuff is woke leftist shitshows, and all the golden old stuff is being tainted with what the actos/producers/network have done.
It's a zero sum game.
I've been struggling with this too. So many "classics", whether art, literature, etc, were created by really horrible people. I'm having a harder time separating them now. Most of the modern stuff I can dump.
