What if we flipped this script? What if we said, “He may have inspired us with his music, BUT he groomed young girls”? “He may have been a public face for a good movement, BUT he ruined many vulnerable lives”?
What would the world look like if there were some lines we refused to cross? If we stopped celebrating and forgiving abusers because their art made us feel good?

What if we elevated and supported their victims instead — some of whom might have bloomed into great artists themselves, who could give us the gift of their stories and songs without being terrible people who destroy the lives of others? What if we made this a world that prioritized decency alongside creativity? What if we refused to sacrifice women, girls, boys, and all vulnerable people on the altar of (supposedly) Great Art? What would that world look like? When will we ever see it? 4/4
