I have not watched the Cosby Show since his allegations. But someday I might because the rest of the cast did nothing wrong.

I do watch Glee despite what Mark Salling did. My love for Brittana supersedes all other flaws.

The place where I am most guilty is watching and enjoying Salman movies. I know he has killed people and abused/stalked his ex. But the nostalgia of his old movies and my enjoyment of masala flicks supersedes other things. I am ultimately a flawed person who cannot always make the right choices between my convictions and personal tastes.

How will you feel watching those movies ???

I've already boycotted musicians etc. It's too hard for me to separate the person from the art.

Interesting question.. I have never really thought of not spending money on tickets solely for the purpose of taking a stand - but it just struck me that I haven't spent my earned-money on any movie starring Salman and Sanjay Dutt or directed by Subhash Ghai and Sajid.

But I dont really know if I would think of deliberately not choosing to spend my money on their work in future in order to take a stand- it is just that I find their work/genre unappealing so I don't end up "supporting" anyways.

It actually depends on the extent of their problematic behaviour. If someone male or female make problematic statements and then apologizes and learns and never repeats the same I never cancel them.

But a repeat offender year a

after year or actually doing much horrific things are absolutely cancelled and I wont spend my hard earned money for them.

I can never separate the artist from the person cause by throwing coins at the artist on screen you are taking a part in funding the person and their behaviour off it.
