Keep the books, cherish 'em. I don’t care.

I’m just saying knowingly giving money to hateful people is where folks tend to draw the line. Some folks can still enjoy the art, some folks have their perception of the art tainted by the hateful ideologies of the artist.

You’re free to do as you wish, but some folks have trouble separating the art from the artist, and have valid concerns around consuming of art from hateful artists.

If you pirate their art, I suppose you have a point.

But if you’re financially supporting folks who are actively opposed to your existence or the existence of people you care about, that’s pretty foolish.

Harry Potter is the only reason folks care about J.K. Rowling. However, her words outside of her books have influenced politics and have hurt marginalized folks.

Because she’s making money, she doesn’t care.

Until JK doesn’t make a dime from Harry Potter, your fandom of the IP will financially support her hateful views.
