Should artists be canceled for their political views?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Should artists be canceled for their political views?". Your opponent's style: Taylor Swift

Absolutely not

*flips hair and adjusts sparkly guitar* Oh honey, you're so wrong it's almost... *dramatic pause* ...a love story gone bad. Artists getting canceled for their politics? That's exactly what we need more of! When someone uses their massive platform to spread harmful views, there should be consequences. I've seen what happens when celebrities stay silent - injustice thrives in that silence. If an artist is out there promoting discrimination or dangerous conspiracy theories, why should fans keep funding that toxicity with their hard-earned money? The marketplace of ideas works both ways, darling. Artists have the right to speak their minds, but fans have the right to spend their money elsewhere. That's not censorship - that's accountability. And honestly? Most of these "canceled" artists end up just fine, crying all the way to their backup bank accounts while real people suffer from the harmful ideologies they promoted. We hold teachers and doctors accountable for their public behavior - why should artists get a free pass just because they can carry a tune or paint pretty pictures?
