When something like rape allegations and the extreme anti-queer language Ben uses (which I have heard of before this), it makes sense that the fanbase would abruptly turn their backs on them.
Is it just this one guy? Or is it all members? If it's just him I'm essentially just going to repeat Exo's point.

Both members have been accused and both members pushed their LGBT support to the forefront of the band's idealogy.

I guess they deserve the backlash. Especially when you consider how dishonest they were with their fanbase.

If the allegations are true, of course. But should this mean the music itself be taken less seriously?

Maybe this is a special case, because much of the enjoyment of their music to some fans was their stance and message of the lyrics.

Unless an artist's ideology seeps into his/her art, I separate the art from the artist. I.e. I have no problem with enjoying music made by racists or rapists as long as the music itself does not condone racism or rape. If you boycott music made by people who have done abhorrent things, you wouldn't even be able to listen to this:

They sound ****ty, but I'm curious...





Tristan, you shouldn't stop listening to PWR BTTM because they're rapy. You should stop listening to PWR BTTM because they are ass.

Jokes on you I never even listened to them that much to begin with. Bulb and Qwertyy are huge fans though.

I swear to god they need to start giving out testosterone booster shots, so nobody will want to listen to any more of this weak sauce and we can stop Pwr Bttm before they hurt anyone else.

So you want them to be as masculine as possible?
