It's something I struggle with. Some bad news comes out about some public persona doing something shitty and they get cancelled. But sometimes I really struggle with giving up the things they've made because I like them. There are also occasions where the person has been accused of something and it doesn't seem true to me, or I think they're genuinely sorry and have been punished enough, and the context isn't being considered.

What do you think? Who do you feel conflicted about enjoying?

I remember the moment news broke out, that I just got rid of all books he authored. The Sandman graphic novels, Coraline, American Gods, Stardust .etc

All I was looking forward to reading someday but nope.

I haven't gotten rid of mine but they're all stowed away in a corner.

If you had donated them, to a thrift store or maybe a library, it would've kept someone else from buying a new copy, which would give him money.

That's what I'm struggling with. Throwing his content in the trash regardless of content 😩 I got sandman 1 omnibus for Christmas last year, ughhhhhh

If you want to feel better about ditching things, just donate them.
