    It’s tough when something that’s been a huge part of your life turns out to be made by an unlikeable person. Two big ones for me off the top of my head are Megadeth and Orson Scott Card. Music and novels that were big parts of my formative years. While I still have fond memories of their works in my life, I don’t go back and revisit them much from what I’ve learned about the people since then.

    In an age where anyone can get their content out there, there are too many people doing equal quality creations without the baggage, so I’d rather just move on to new creators I can spread the word about than trying to defend someone who’s already seen success and tarnished it for themselves. It’s not enjoyable to have to defend someone questionable to anyone else, or to myself.
