    I don’t see how you disagreed with anything I said. What good would it do (aside from you enjoying the man’s content more) for Jazza to disown his brother, rather than continue to be in his life and try to be a positive influence? Would Shad become a better person because of it? Of course not.

    “Plenty of family members publicly denounce their siblings when they start the descent into shitdom.” Is that good? Does it make the world a better place? Or does it only serve to improve how much you enjoy consuming their content?

    “Guilty by association?” Guilty of what? This toxic mindset of suggesting that people need to cut all contact with the ones they love because of differing political opinions doesn’t help anyone. I would bet my life that not one single, solitary, individual alt-right shithead has ever changed his ways because his siblings publicly decried him. All that does is push people further into their echo chambers.

    On the contrary, embracing the awful people in the world leads to positive change within them. The only reason you might think it’s good to disown bad people is if you think they don’t deserve to become better, and the world is somehow better off if they remain bad.
