I do hate that whenever I mention I liked an older show I get "oooh, you know about the producer/lead actor/writer right?" And then I find out something awful and depressing.
How was everyone in show business so fucking terrible? Did Satan require a cosigner on any new media produced or something, like what the hell?
Just humans being themselves. Power consolidates corruption.
As a vinyl collector, it really feels impossible to completely avoid problematic older bands. So many of them pulled heinous shit, and often the bigger they were, the more opportunities they had to indulge their worst impulses. But how can we study history without acknowledging our ancestors accomplishments and failures?
I figure if they are dead, they can't hurt anybody anymore, and neither can they benefit. Same goes for buying used.
I just accept that myself and everyone likes things that are shit and that's okay. Criticizing and insulting media for being shit is also fun, but that doesn't mean anything about the person who enjoys watching it because we all have shit we enjoy.
