AND since there are so many fans that still blindly defend these people despite the fact that they are confirmed suspects... It's important for people to acknowledge that by defending these people they are indirectly defending what they've done as well. It doesn't matter if you've been a fan for 10 years, you still don't know them personally and therefore should never blindly believe in them just because of their shiny image. Most people are shit, and deserve to be called out for it. Even just turning a blind eye to something like this is wrong, no matter what the reason was.
