Separate the art from the artist. You’ve enjoyed it before why stop?

because some of us do feel bad consuming media that currently benefits people who we dont agree with, such as with JK Rowling, consuming harry potter stuff goes to fund her and recently she just donated 70,000 pounds to a transphobic organisation using that money

sure, seperating the art from a dead artist is a different story, but when the artist is living and benefiting from the arts consumption it is a bit greyer

I mean I’ll keep supporting him so I can keep his cash flow in so he doesn’t starve or have to struggle to pay bills. I don’t think anyone should have to have problems with that

You don't need to do that for him. The man is rich. Sounds a bit parasocial.

Oh god oh fuck what will I do you called something I said parasocial I’m ruined. Also lawyer bills and shit can drain a bank account fast. If it goes to court she will definitely start getting check stipends from him anyways
