I struggle to break the artist from their art too. I hate Tom Cruise and refuse to watch his movies even though I was a huge fan before I realized what a cultist pos he is.

Who is the arbiter of separating art from the person? Cosby’s comedy was objectively funny. People still listen to Michael Jackson. Cardie B is still popular. Louis CK has made a degree of a comeback. We don’t boycott films that Harvey Weinstein produced. Cosby is tough in that he holds this nostalgic place in my life - probably the same for most Gen Xers. His comedy makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. But I can’t deny that it makes me laugh
