  1. MORALITY QUESTION:
    What do you guys think about consuming media that was produced by a horrible person? Is it moral to do so?

    Context: I found a cool band I really liked last week on spotify. Great songs. I decide to look them up, only to find out that the lead singer has some pretty strong rape allegations that have been put against him. (not entirely sure about the validity of those claims, still doing research n stuff.)

    so that's obviously not good. But I don't wanna talk about that guy specifically, just wondering what you guys think about this in general. 

    Here's the hypothetical situation I would like you to consider.

    -Bob produced a work of great quality. Book, music, play, whatever. 
    -Bob is now dead. Added this stipulation to avoid the 'don't want to support this person financially' angle. Bob is dead. they cannot benefit from anything financially.
    -Bob did a very bad thing. Take your pick =P, it was pretty bad though.
    -The Bad Thing that Bob did still has bad effects to this day. Adding this stipulation to balance out the "Bob is dead" stipulation.

    Is it morally wrong to consume the media that Bob created?

      Depending on the the thing, i'd probably just not consume bob's media by choice. I don't think it's morally wrong if he is dead and cannot benefit though.

      If Bob was alive I wouldn't listen to his stuff. If he's dead, if it doesn't go to bob or bob-related parties, like Doomstick said, then I would be fine listening to it.
