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.

    I struggle with it and am hypocritical about that.

    Roman Polanski was convicted of a terrible crime, but I appreciate his work.

    Weinstein’s production company made many of my favorite movies.

    Kevin Spacey played some of my favorite characters.

    EDIT:

    And then there is Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson. I love the Naked Gun Movies and both are pure gold on screen.

    Bill Cosby’s Chicken Heart routine is so fucking funny it was making me laugh my ass off until the mid 2010s… Now I when I ever I see the album it just makes me sad….

      it’s 100% unavoidable. Hollywood breeds psychopathy and Celebrity Status attracts the worst of us and corrupts those with shaky morals.

          No, power doesn’t breed the mental illness, but it does attract those with that deficiency and give them a massive advantage. When you don’t give a shit about people because of a fundamental lack of empathy, it’s easier to step on everyone around you to make it to the top.
