What’s the minimum level of fame needed to avoid being publicly shamed? I mean, lately I see a lot of artists doing questionable or downright bad/illegal things, and yet they still have a horde of fans defending them tooth and nail. So it makes me wonder, how many fans do you really need to have that level of security? To know you have a fanbase that will always be there no matter what? Maybe 10 fans aren’t enough, or even 500… what’s the minimum?
Exactly, it’s only cancelled if they’ve been made commercially nonviable - and in a corporate/political landscape that is openly fascistic, that is a much blurrier line. Like when Ben Kissel got taken off Last Podcast, he has been pretty much fully cancelled. Full stop, career over. I just wish it was always so cut and dried.
