Mia Khalifa is now in the Eric Clapton category.

That category being: artists whose work I enjoyed until I found out what they believed about certain groups of people.

@voltronic I felt justified with Clapton because I always thought he was overrated. For whatever reason, I never liked him.

@Rstrahs
First I found out about him being an anti-vaxxer. Then I learned he's been a raging racist for many years.

@voltronic same! Van Morrison also fits the category

@voltronic John Cleese. I still enjoy his work, but have to separate it from the man somewhat. His repeated defense of The British Empire, resembling the "what have the Romans ever done for us" scene in Life Of Brian, is unsettling. His whataboutism on trans rights and white knighting of J. K. Rowling is disgusting.

It's deeply uncomfortable. Monty Python is foundational to me, and I'm not about to try to change that, but there it is.
