    You can separate the art from the artist.

    It took me a while to listen to Demons and Wizards again when I found out its guitarist was a Jan 6er. It helped that his collaborator almost immediately disassociated himself from the band.

      It’s almost cliche now, but my wife has always loved the Harry Potter books and movies. It’s hard being a fan of that now. The new HBO series coming out will be an interesting test of the art vs artist

        I’m not an HP fan, but I see all the terf stuff Rowling posts.

        Do people expect the hbo series to be boycotted or otherwise negatively impacted because of Rowling views? Or do people expect that will have very little impact on the shows popularity?

        I would guess the latter, but will be interesting to see.
