I mean, there’s a petition going around Taylor Swift’s fandom right now calling her to make a positive statement on Gaza. The person who started that petition isn't doing it for the victims of the genocide or any other good, it's so they can boast that Taylor said the right thing.

I don't know if this secret applies to pop music fandom, but from what I've seen of it, there's a very big feeling that by being a fan of an asshole - be it an abuser like Chris Brown or a cheater McCheaterpants such as Justin Timberlake, by simply liking something made by a bad person must make you a bad person as well. And the fact that we tend to treat fandoms as a monolith, it's hard not to see where OP is coming from. Especially in a world where we're told that our choices within capitalism - every little one of them, intentional or not - are acts of morality. I'm not too in-depth in other sorts of fandoms, so I wouldn't know if the same moral posturing occurs in those spaces, but I know it's a big aspect of Gen Z/Alpha social media. I also wouldn't be surprised if OP had studied post-modernism sociology in relation to capitalism and Berger’s theory of the Sacred Canopy…

you've met and talked with them or are you making an assumption because you believe TS's fandom or any fandom is Like That?

idk quite know how to respond, because i think i'm saying something more specific which is not that people shouldn't think about what their actions morally do, but that actually acting morally requires more than rote didacticism like "listening to bad people is bad". i think you need to have your own base foundational philosophy that you've thought about before you go trying to apply it to reality with rules, not the other way around.

Especially in a world where we're told
this is actually an interesting bit of limited perspective, since the world is mostly saying that you should buy more to make yourself happy and the moral limitations are far more niche that this phrasing assumes.
