Haven't followed all the followup enough to be certain but, well: what he did was pretty bad. Not as bad as say the Weinstein stuff but still bad. My impression is that a fair bit of it (apart from him being generally unwell) comes from a failure to recognize himself as a person with power and authority.

I'd say it is the sort of thing that seems forgivable (as opposed to again Weinstein who I think is just genuinely evil - then again that might just be my reactionary side on these issues). Whether what he did in response was actually enough to be forgiven I'm not sure of, but from what I've seen it seems dubious.

I wasn't super into him to begin with but thought he was ok. I definitely think we should be careful in letting our personal opinions of artists colour our appreciation of art, for many good reasons. In LCK's case it is a bit harder given that his stand-up persona seems to be a reflection of himself to an uncomfortable degree.
