    You can’t separate the art and the artist while the artist is still alive and causing harm.

    You can ask this question again when she kicks it.

      • Lovecraft is long past dead, nothing comes from buying his books. Rowling is alive and using her clout to actively remove resources from a minority community while using and encouraging hate speech.

        You can’t separate the artist from their art when you are promoting or paying them. That’s just turning a blind eye.

        YOU can. I have moral qualms handing a dollar to someone if I know they’re going to use part of that dollar to convince trans kids to kill themselves.

        Especially for something with simple alternatives like entertainment.
