His name is/was JonTron IIRC.

I stop being able to separate the art from the artist when they start using their platform to push their views. Which is what he did. If you are famous and you never mention your ideology then more power to you but when you go on a tirade during an interview about something else you lose that separation.

Hey internet: this right here ^ is how you respond when you encounter new information after a disagreement. It's totally okay to admit not having known something before. You don't have to double-down on your ignorance or go off at some stranger.

We're all just people, learning all the time. It's cool.

Anyway, thanks for responding like a reasonable person, OP.
