Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

      I honestly believe that if you’re convicted of shit like this the band should be able to sue to have your rights to royalties and any songwriting/producing credits revoked. Even if they have to surrender any monetary outcome to the victims or their families.

        As opposed to what, consensually making love to them? What an unnecessary distinction.

          The point is that we should try to stop using euphemistic language around rape. It happens all the time, and it lessens the impact of the act for the reader. We should be explicit.

          You mean the distinction between engaging in consensual intercourse (aka “fucking”) vs committing a heinous crime?

          If you think pointing out that babies can only be raped, is the problem, not saying he “fucked” them, this is a you problem…

            I’m saying the fact that its non-consensual sex (aka rape) is inherent to the scenario. A baby can’t consent to, nor understand, the concept of sex. So I guess I’m just not sure what point you’re trying to make in splitting hairs.

              I’m making the point that babies cannot be fucked, only raped, which obviously isn’t “inherent” to the person who said “he fucked babies” which minimises the reality of the “scenario” as you call it (more minimisation, why do you do that? To preserve your own comfort of course!). Words matter, and if you think pointing that out is “splitting hairs” (when you’re literally the only one making a load of fuss over this valid distinction), then again, you’re the one with the problem here (and taking issue with someone pointed out that babies can only be raped, not “fucked” is definitely a problem that needs addressing, like seriously - imagine being the person dying on the hill to defend the use of “fucked” to describe baby rape… 🤦‍♀️).

                Damn, you are shooketh. Not used to anyone suggesting your point may not be as profound as you thought, I guess.

                Take a breather, It’ll all be okay.

      I’m convinced he’s not all there. Dude was talking about what he’s going to do when he gets out of prison. He doesn’t seem to understand they’re going to wheel him out on a trolley.
