John Lennon abused women 60 years ago and he's still not cancelled. I'm waiting for the HBO documentary though

but in seriousness, one thing I have a hard time with is like... so R Kelly, Ryan Adams, and MJ are having their albums pulled from stores and dropped from airplay. Is it just because they are in the news right now? It does make the public's attitude seem incredibly fickle and based more on social pressure to look like you are doing the correct thing than on a real dedication to consistent morality. When will Led Zeppelin and David Bowie albums be pulled because Page and Bowie committed statutory rape against teenage girls? When will people #cancel Chuck Berry for putting cameras in women's bathrooms? When will sports events stop playing that song by convicted pedophile Gary Glitter?

which is not to say I think people shouldn't care. I'm glad people care and are more aware. But I think we have some social issues with applying this morality evenly, or else we haven't really figured out what an appropriate response for us is when a beloved public figure is found to have done heinous things

Pulling records from shelves or songs from the air is just companies cynically looking to avoid copping bad publicity for being seen to benefit from those society is at least apparently in the process of rejecting, let's face it.

Having said all of that, I am glad that the abused can possibly feel some vindication and release in all of this. It's too little too late, but hopefully something this massively fucked up never happens again, at least at the hands of a high profile celebrity.. |

b) we all just need to kinda grow up and stop expecting our artists to be anything other than flawed shitty humans just like we are. just because they're on a billboard doesn't mean they're perfect. they're often worse, exemplified by their nature of so badly thirsting for attention & love from the world. not saying it should be put up with, just expected. the art mostly could, and arguably should, be separated from the artist. it's just even sweeter when the artist you like also seems to be a great person. |

You need something that gets everyone's attention at once so that you can get enough people to pressure at once, that's why sometimes it works. Of course it's not a perfect system, and it's definitely not without it's issues but it's something at least. We as a society are figuring this out as it goes and there will be growing pains. The simple fact some people are starting to be held accountable for their actions is overall a positive thing. |

Although Leno didn't touch him because they were friends. But also Leno was never funny, so it's not like we were missing out on any great Jackson jokes.

P.S. I have no idea how we as a society should treat the body of work by creators accused of things and I can't offer any insightful solutions to this problem. Hopefully the world ends soon so that it won't be a pressing matter for long, though.

People "cared" then, but only as far as cracking jokes at his expense. His music was still held in high regard by people who wanted to hear some "bangers" like Billie Jean at the next wedding function without having to consider the man behind the music and potentially ruin that good time.
