We have all sinned, every one of us. Even if we didn’t realize it at the time, we see our actions years later and are disgusted with ourselves.
The time for purity tests are over, it’s time to admit that deep down the human experience is being a giant piece of shit, but it is also trying to cleanse yourself of such burdensome humanity and grow into something far kinder, far smarter, far more empathetic, far more patient, and above all, far more wonderful than a human being.
I mean there’s sinned, and there’s raped and trafficked people. So it really depends on what the person did and on if you want to support that or not. I don’t think refusing to watch works from pedophiles or abusers is a bad thing. I refuse to watch Polanski for what he did, I don’t care if his latest movie is good, I won’t watch it. But I can watch Guillermo del Toro movies and not feel guilty, despite the fact that he signed a petition to pardon Polanski, but what I can do is not put people in Hollywood on a pedestal so high that it hurts me when I have to remove them from it.

Well, I’m tempted to say “speak for yourself there, buddy”. I’d agree if you said that a lot of people are like that, but you seem to imply that goes for basically everyone?
Varrying degrees of shittyness sure, but it is human to cause pain and suffering to those around you. Being aware of that is the first step to lessening it’s effect.
Of course! Why, then, implying that I’m claiming to be “without sin” for saying I’m not “a giant piece of shit,” if there’s lots of degrees in between?

They’re people in the business of entertaining people, nothing more, nothing less.

Look everyone, he without sin!
So the two options are being “without sin” and “being a giant piece of shit”? There is no in between?
