Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

NGL If I were rich Id probably buy one of his paintings just to hang it in the least used guest barhroom.

Id never mention that it was a "Hitler" or why I had it. Id just like to have his failure be something my least favorite relatives have to stare at while they take a shit. My own personal fuck you to the cunt.

I certainly won’t listen to Gary Glitter’s music

Except sporting teams keep using Rock and Roll part 2 in stadiums.

Bono. U2 is pretty mediocre to begin with, but with that asshole in front singing Id rather listen to Miley Cyrus.

What did he do? And what’s wrong with Miley Cyrus?

[–] bugieman@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I'd almost say it's the opposite... U2 is a decent band, but nothing too special. Bono has a strong reputation as a philanthropist doing good for the worlds charities.

Rammstein is terrible. Clear cut allegations of systematic exploitation and lawyers who tried to silence big newspapers.

Im a firm believer you can like the art and not the artist but if i had to pick it would be the wizard of oz. Honestly what the director did to the actors/actresses on wizard of oz really zaps the magic out of the movie for me.

Maybe John Wayne Gacy, otherwise I accept the art for its own merit.

Foo Fighters used to be real down with the whole AIDS denialism, even financially supporting it.

I know David Grohl is an internet sweetheart, but every time I see anything Foo related, I just immediately wonder how many people died pointless and preventable deaths because they believed the denialism Foo Fighters pushed.
