After his initial public disgrace and silence, I hadn’t written him off completely. If he’d done the work and used what was left of his platform to actually fight rape culture and sexism, he could have had a deservedly long hard road back to real relevance as an artist for a lot of people. (While plenty of others would have exercised their prerogative to never want to hear from him again.) Instead he’s doubled-down into the role of a self-pitying edgelord taking no serious ownership of his actions towards the women whose lives and careers he damaged. Bastard has shown us who he really is, as much by his sexual harassment as his shameless response, and yes, it’s costing him.
Don’t assume his current behavior is without consequences for him.
