Edit for reasoning-I tend to enjoy mean spirited funny stuff sometimes. Creators are typically kind of shitty/immoral people but I still enjoy it. I feel conflicted sometimes but still end up watching and enjoying.

  • Depends…

    TV Shows? Yea sure, they are only one role out of a big set of casts, and it’s also the product of writers and film directors…

    Movies where its centered around that actor’s character? Slightly gonna less fun to watch… depending on the nature of their crime.

    Books? Well the entire thing is the the work of that one person so its gonna be much harder to “separate art from artist” but at least you dont have to hear their voice and personality like…

    oh… which brings us to Youtube videos…

    Yea… no… this is where the separate art from artist doesn’t work… their voice and personality is probably reflecting their character…

    Like… I watched PewDiePie’s intro and I already cringe so hard so I never got into it…

    Then later I tried it again, watching the PUBG videos… didn’t even need to looked up the deleted bridge incident… he constantly makes uncomfortable jokes

    Same with another gameplay channel doing challenge runs in Resident Evil, not even gonna name them since its a tiny ass channel but dude keeps making “women bad” jokes and then he showed the maga hat on a shelf and claimed its just meming… yeahhh… nope out of there real quick
