It’s something I struggle with. Some bad news comes out about some public persona doing something shitty and they get cancelled. But sometimes I really struggle with giving up the things they’ve made because I like them. There are also occasions where the person has been accused of something and it doesn’t seem true to me, or I think they’re genuinely sorry and have been punished enough, and the context isn’t being considered.
What do you think? Who do you feel conflicted about enjoying?
Louis CK. He was my favorite comedian, but the first special after ‘cancellation’ had all the hallmarks of a washed up has been with grievances. But he’s been back to his old form lately, and I still consider him the best comic of his generation.

Agreed. It’s like, we know he can do better but he just dumps out two or three very underwhelming specials. Like, is that how you want to bounce back from all that has happened with you? Just makes you look weaker. I took the opportunity to find different comics and listen to comics I ignored for years than just his.
