I'm not a huge fan of cancel culture either, but I've not paid a cent to any artists' work that I love in my whole life, so I feel I can justify my position by holding up my hands and saying "hey, I don't fund their lifestyle. Never have, never will."
I doubt this. Have you ever consumed any form of media? Did you pay for it? Movies, games, television, music, nothing?
Yes, no, and for all of that: no.
Well, if you actually ever support someone, and they appear to be a bad person, you should know you paid them for their art style adding to not knowing they were a bad person, so you're not actually guilty. Also, even that person deserves a possibility to become better and start over, and thus, they shouldn't be cancelled. That's what we both know, am I right?
If they've sincerely expressed a change of heart, then maybe
Okay.
