It should always be this easy. I truly don't understand why it's not for 91% of society.

I, an intellectual, am able to shit on a celebrity when they pour toxic shit into the discourse

I, an intellectual, am able to rescind my support of a celebrity when I learn how shitty they are as a person

Anybody can separate artists and art. The question is whether or not we should.

This.

That being said, Jontron's "views" are no where near as bad as people pretend they are.

He questioned mass immigration and the point of the womens march. Then made jokes about Democrats.

If those are really controversially evil stances then pretty much the entire conservative party is evil.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

Well, the question is if we should let a person's views dictate how we feel about their art.

I do think that some people's views can color their art, but that's mainly based on what part of their art you're responding to.

Like someone's politics don't affect how good a guitar solo is, but if you like someone's music for its themes, etc. that could affect it.

The only thing you got wrong was Swift's political views being acceptable.

Also JonTron isn't a celebrity lol

You're going to be living a very boring life if you only consume art made by artists with unblemished morality.
