    Yeah, for sure. Man, I honestly wish there was a way to prevent knowing the details about the lives of artists I like. So many actors and musicians have ended up standing for things that I think are disgusting, and it’s ruined their content for me in many cases. And I don’t follow celebrity gossip/“news” at all unless it hits the front page, but sometimes it’s just unavoidable.

    There’s actually a musician I like who has been around for a long time and I’ve managed not to know anything about his political beliefs or whatever. I’m not even going to mention his name here because I just know someone will say, “Wait, you didn’t know he was convicted of eating baby eyeballs” or something like that.

      this happened with me and mixed martial arts fighters growing up… and yes i know they make their living getting bashed in the head, but what drew me in was the self discipline and humility aspect of it from a few of the fighters at the top.

      one of them was most beloved not only because of how domniant he was but also his kindness and cheerful personality outside of it… only to find out he lets former controversial brazilian presidential candidate jair bolsonaro live in his USA home.

        Yep, seems like it’s better not to know, but I also hate having my head in the sand.

        The guy really shouldn’t be that worried about it. Pretty sure he’s talking about Ian Watkins from Lostprophets, who did some shit basically as bad as eating baby eyeballs, and who’s name i can’t remember half the time, and what band the other half. I wasn’t a fan but I know a lot of them just couldn’t keep listening.

          They had a really catchy song on the radio at a point where all my car had was FM radio. It was weird finding out what he did.
