I agree and think that the attitude of "oh their music sucks so good riddance" is a weird and harmful one - what happens when an indie-beloved band has similar allegations? Do we then give them a pass? Do we pretend their music sucked?
The quality of their music has NOTHING to do with how good/bad people they are, and for that to be the main takeaway for a lot of people makes it seem that the most important thing to some is whether we "lose" a "good" band or not
Just because Caitlyn isn't a good representation of what being trans is like does not mean that she isn't trans. Her identity isn't invalidated. It's much more useful to look at why a trans person would still support Trump (among her other questionable actions) than pretend she isn't part of the community.
I think the RBCF vote was probably split between An Air Conditioned Man, Talking Straight, and Mainland, whereas most of these were the clear choice for their given artist
