Access. We now live in a world where we can interact directly with out favorite artists, celebrities and other creators. We know more about their lives than ever. Sometimes it&#8217;s great. It also sucks, because we now live in a world where we know more about the lives of our favorite artists, celebrities and other creators than ever. And all too often the things we know about them&#8230; aren&#8217;t good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaliyah-age-aint-nothing-but-a-number-thatgrapejuice.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaliyah-age-aint-nothing-but-a-number-thatgrapejuice-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaliyah-age-aint-nothing-but-a-number-thatgrapejuice-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaliyah-age-aint-nothing-but-a-number-thatgrapejuice-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaliyah-age-aint-nothing-but-a-number-thatgrapejuice-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/aaliyah-age-aint-nothing-but-a-number-thatgrapejuice.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, all too often the things we learn about them are really really bad. Sometimes they&#8217;re downright awful. Deplorable even. In the last couple years with the #MeToo movement this has been really obvious&#8230; the (quite well deserved) take downs of Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and Kevin Spacey come to mind, but also an unending list of others. <a href=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/2019\/02\/18\/e45-game-of-oscars\/\">On our Oscars episode<\/a>, Hannah pointed out that she has a lot of problems with <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bohemian&nbsp;Rhapsody (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2NnJIiC\" target=\"_blank\">Bohemian&nbsp;Rhapsody<\/a><\/em> that aren&#8217;t related to the film, but more because of Bryan Singer&#8217;s association with it. Katya has made similar comments about the recently deceased fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld.

The question we&#8217;re wondering about this episode is&#8230; what do you do with all the content they produced before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/milkyduck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"186\" src=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/milkyduck-300x186.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/milkyduck-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/milkyduck-768x477.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/milkyduck-1024x636.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/milkyduck.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s an internet meme called <a href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/milkshake-duck\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"milkshake duck (opens in a new tab)\">milkshake duck<\/a>. It  says that if there&#8217;s duck drinking a milkshake, it will go viral. Everyone on the internet will fall in love with milkshake duck. Five minutes later, someone will discover that secretly milkshake duck had been a racist all along. Everyone will be outraged. And they should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bill-cosby-himself-dv.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"168\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bill-cosby-himself-dv-168x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bill-cosby-himself-dv-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/bill-cosby-himself-dv.jpg 448w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But the question we want to ask on this episode is &#8220;what do we do about the milkshake ducks after we discover them?&#8221; It&#8217;s easy to say we no longer want to support this person. Especially in the cases where the person has committed a crime. Bill Cosby is in jail and I&#8217;m perfectly happy to say he deserves to rot there. But, ever since his scandal went hot, reruns of <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"The Cosby Show (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2NnfNav\" target=\"_blank\">The Cosby Show<\/a><\/em> have been pulled from the air. Can we really say the the artifact is without cultural value? That show did a lot of good in its time. As did <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Fat\u00a0Albert (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Nqy9HO\" target=\"_blank\">Fat\u00a0Albert<\/a>&#8230;<\/em> and no matter how I feel about him, I can&#8217;t pretend that <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bill Cosby: Himself (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2TZD2cZ\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Cosby: Himself<\/a><\/em> isn&#8217;t one of the greatest comedy specials of all time. Similarly, as a pro-wrestling scholar, I remember that when it was discovered that Chris Benoit murdered his entire family and then committed suicide, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"WWE (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wwe.com\" target=\"_blank\">WWE<\/a> all but wiped his memory from existence in their media. But does that change the fact that he was one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time? I&#8217;ve long felt that no matter what his gambling crimes, Pete Rose belongs in the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"baseball Hall of Fame (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/baseballhall.org\" target=\"_blank\">baseball Hall of Fame<\/a>. Is it different because Benoit was a murderer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ZZZ060665-PO.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"208\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ZZZ060665-PO-208x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ZZZ060665-PO-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/ZZZ060665-PO.jpg 664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is particularly a problem for people like us that study popular culture for a living. Bill Cosby is in jail and Benoit is dead&#8230; they&#8217;re not making new content. But what about Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein. I can&#8217;t just ignore <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Usual&nbsp;Suspects (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2T3JAKL\" target=\"_blank\">Usual&nbsp;Suspects<\/a><\/em>, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"American&nbsp;Beauty (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2NotUfQ\" target=\"_blank\">American&nbsp;Beauty<\/a><\/em>, and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2GZfCB0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"L.A. Confidential (opens in a new tab)\">L.A. Confidential<\/a><\/em>. Kevin Spacey might be a garbage human being, but he still starred in several of the most important films of all time. And I can&#8217;t do my job if I ignore them. Same thing goes for Weinstein who produced&#8230; you know&#8230; most of the movies ever. Or every massively problematic author in the literary canon (hint&#8230; it&#8217;s basically all of them). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From Wayne:<\/strong> So what do we do, as fans and consumers of pop culture, when we discover that the creator of something we love turns out to be problematic? &#8220;I love this guys books, music, comics, whatever\u2026 did you hear he&#8217;s a Nazi?&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t want the episode to just be a listing of &#8220;here&#8217;s these terrible people and the terrible things they did.&#8221; I want to address the fan reaction to this. What do we do? At what point do we abandon something we have loved. Is the work compromised? That <a href=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/2018\/10\/15\/episode-27-la-mort-de-lauteur\/\">gets us back into the Death of the Author thing<\/a>. Does it matter if they&#8217;re a Nazi if the work is still good? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/51hXDdflGML.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"197\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/51hXDdflGML-197x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/51hXDdflGML-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/voxpopcast.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/51hXDdflGML.jpg 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the examples of this for me is Orson Scott Card. The <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ender's Game series (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XjrzqX\" target=\"_blank\">Ender&#8217;s Game<\/a><\/em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Ender's Game series (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2XjrzqX\" target=\"_blank\"> series<\/a> is really good, and the second one, <em>Speaker for the Dead<\/em>, is all about learning genuine compassion for things that are, in this case literally, alien to you. But then he donates money to and supports anti-LGBT issues. Can I choose not to support him any longer but still love those books? I&#8217;m repulsed by everything Ted Nugent stands for these days, but that one album from 1977 and the concert I saw in 1978 were fucking amazing. I haven&#8217;t given him money since then, but I still kind of love the song &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2VdAS9W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Stranglehold (opens in a new tab)\">Stranglehold<\/a>&#8220;. Is that okay? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s the breaking point?. Is there redemption for these creators if they walk back their behavior or beliefs? Frank Miller <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Eodild\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"did some great comics (opens in a new tab)\">did some great comics<\/a>, then lost his mind for awhile, but recently has taken responsibility for some of that and apologized.
