    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.

        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.

        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.
