Don't forget the less violent folks who find a way to "separate the art from the artist" and continue keeping memories of the villain alive through his music regardless of how much of a villain he was.
Showerthoughts
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
"He may have done that stuff. But it doesn't matter! It would be disrespectful to take down his monuments to the people he impacted positively"
"He's so hot; I'd totally let him off me!"
I remember being appalled at the people saying this stuff about Chris Brown (that they'd be happy to let him beat them) after he attacked Rhianna. Gross.
Edited for grammar.
Just like they did with Milli Villainilli
I don't recall anyone going after the folks that made "Leaving Neverland," but I also wasn't paying much attention.
I mean I just googled the name of one of the producers
Looks like they also got sued by the Jackson estate.
Haven't watched it in a while, but wasn't it the whole murder thing?
While we know the murder happened, the only evidence of any wrong doing in the real world were the lyrics of the songs in letters to Coco. Which may have had the date written on them.
Honestly, it would be a pretty pathetic amount of evidence in the real world and would drag on for decades with people demanding tests of the letters to try and find out their creation dates and authenticity, and arguing that him having drafts of partners songs didn't change anything.
