Classic question if you can seperate the art and the artist. Rowling, MJ, Lovecraft (even if you will be hard pressed to find any old artist that wasnt misogynistic, racist, homophobic and all other narrow minded ideas under the sun)
Buy second hand book. Then artist gets nothing. Any penny she gets seems to go to attacking trans rights. Do you really want to be complicit in that? It’s not like the art is even that good or relevent now.
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’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.
actually you can and its quite easy to do for 99% of artists
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.
