I know some people will try to say, separate the art from artist, but i refuse to listen to a song i like if someone who made it was a r*pist. Victims' feelings are more important than my or anyone else's entertainment, they want to be heard and not judged or silenced. Just because someone is a good musician doesn't always mean they are good people or that they didn't do harmful things. I understand that we shouldn't care way too much about celebrities' lives, (like, know if they're in relationship or single, do they have a pet or not, did they graduate high school/college or drop out, that's too much) but it would be enough to at least know if they were genuinely good but imperfect people with flaws or sh*tty people who did something unjustifiable.
Anyone who commits r*pe, even if it's once, is a bad person, because there's no excuse or justification for it, be it famous person or not. Consent is always important, even if someone is a famous musician, artist etc.
