    Financially supporting the harming and oppression of others is a problem, no matter how it’s labelled. I think it’s completely fair to call that out.

      So how many degrees of separation are necessary for your morals? Because unless you grow your own food, weave your own cloth, make everything you own yourself, and consume no media; I can pretty much guarantee there are things you have spent money or time on that contribute to groups or individuals that you find reprehensible.

        Funnily enough, ignorance is a valid excuse here. You can’t be expected to investigate the companies behind every single product you buy or use in the day to day, but that’s not what were talking about here.

        We’re talking about Brandon Sanderson, specifically, and how his tithes to the Mormon church significantly contribute to the open oppression and abuse of LGBTQIA+ communities. You, buying your mistborn and stormlight archive books, are DIRECTLY supporting that behavior.
