re: I have a question about boycotting entertainers.

I don't care about attending a function, but people like DeNiro have ruined the Godfather for me.

Bargatze is in a weird place. He grew up almost certainly in a conservative southern family, but has lived in NYC and done the comic scene on the east coast for years. I would guess he is conservative, but he had dodged politics like the plague. I think as long as he doesn’t delve into it he’ll be okay, and stuff like this won’t really hurt or help him.

Most of these folks are just taking money.

Now if you went around calling folks Nazis, well you have no one to blame if they just don't like you anymore.

Like Robert dinero. I can't see that guy the same anymore and can't watch his movies because all I see is an angry old little man.

I once liked about every movie Di Nero was in. Now, I won’t watch anything he’s done if I run across it on TV.

There’s several other actors and actresses that fall into that category.

I'm not being facetious or trying to pull some kind of "gotcha", I'm genuinely curious and would like to understand better. What is the rationale behind this? I get the very high level view of "I don't like that guy personally so frick him", but to me entrainment is meant to...well, entertain. If you admittedly liked his movies, why let him stop you from enjoying them? He doesn't know you so it feels like you're letting a guy that has no idea you exist rob joy from your life.

I despise pretty much everything about Alec Baldwin as an individual but 30 rock is one of the funniest shows ever created and I rewatch it every few years. I would never let the fact that he's a massive scumbag turd get in the way of me enjoying the show.

At some point someone's identity can become off-putting to the point where watching them is no longer entertaining. I don't have some boycott list but I might turn something on, see an actor and think "nah" and find something else because watching them is no longer entertaining because they made themselves into something besides an actor. Mark Ruffalo (sp) would be an example of this and it's not like he was a powerful draw to begin with.

I don't know or care about the politics of whoever might be on my television or Spotify list and I don't go looking for it, so if I know about their political views it's because they went out of their way to share them. If that persona eclipsed their talent as an actor it's not anything I did, it's something they did.

What has changed is there used to be an openly Republican contingent in Hollywood

In this case, they are straight-up signaling publicly, via the employment of this symbolism, that they are a subservient and willing member of the Luciferian cult that controls all forms of the entertainment industries used to intentionally influence the public to their dark agenda.

All have quite literally sold their their souls to the Devil

"Would that change the way you see that person?"

It definitely has. Especially the ones that try and influence. I don't even listen to the ones that requested Trump not to use their songs at the rally's and such. White cowards

I won't go to a concert if the artist is known for political rants even if our beliefs align.
I got a ticket to come listen to some music and step away from all that.
