    Depends on how parasocial I am. Never gave much of a shit about Win Butler as a person, so I don’t really think about the shit he’s gotten up to, but the several months when I thought Conor Oberst might be a rapist were devastating

      Win’s is still so tough to me. I read through each of the statements and my final thought was: he did some bad things, but nothing that’s going to get him thrown in jail. Similar to Aziz Ansari if I remember correctly. Now whether or not punishment would be morally right is another discussion, obviously our legal system is Very Flawed.
