you need to stop placing all your expectations on rich, famous white men
that doesn't mean you have to stop being a fan or throw away the music that has meant something to you. it also doesn't mean you have to defend every questionable thing they do just because you admire their work
i personally think you can love the art while acknowledging that the artist is flawed. admiring someone's music shouldn't require pretending they're a good person or excusing their actions. at the end of the day, they're still just another privileged man, not someone who should be placed on a pedestal
