if you're waiting for the day when you can talk about a bunch of rich powerful men safe in the knowledge that the majority of them don't do morally abhorrent things on the daily I've got some real bad news

itβs not that there isnβt a time and place for those discussions, but itβs like the popular consensus is if a person has allegations they become nothing BUT their allegations and the only time you are allowed to discuss that person is in the context of their allegations

christ this has been bugging me lately. every time I reference more than like five people I'll get several comments like 'um... didn't x do y bad thing π€'
A) I don't know everything about everyone I'm discussing, I'm talking about their music
B) I'M TALKING ABOUT THEIR MUSIC
A) I don't know everything about everyone I'm discussing, I'm talking about their music

I wish people would stop telling me if a man has allegations simply because I bring him up by name. Iβm a film critic. Iβm going to talk about actors who are good and bad people. if sexual assault isnβt the topic at hand, you donβt need to drop it into the conversation
and I say this as a survivor!
