    I don’t even know who Guillermo del Toro is. I know Benecio Del Toro and I love his acting though. Polanski’s a piece of shit and I can’t say I’m a fan of any celebrity that supports him.

    Weird to throw people away cause they don’t agree with you on something

    Are we talking about a disagreement on what cereal is the best, or are we talking about whether one can enjoy the works of a person after finding out they’re a bigot, a rapist, etc? Because I think this is a little more than a small disagreement, so characterizing it as any old disagreement seems disingenuous.

    People aren’t a monolith, either. I’m a a POC and was shocked when Michael Richards went on his racist tirade. Personally, I’ve met black people who have and haven’t been willing to accept his many apologies and everyone’s reasoning is different.

    If a rape victim found out her favorite musician was a rapist, are you really telling me it would be weird of her to throw that artist away because he’s a rapist?
