Do you believe in separating the work from the artist? (piefed.ca)

I personally don’t because I view giving any kind of support as subsidising their problematic views.

Usually I'm not in the mood anymore after I get to know some artist is an asshole. It's not like I use my brain and deliberately try to reason about it. Or that I feel hatred towards the book/song now... But I never felt like re-reading Harry Potter after that. Or let Tidal play some artists' songs. The fun is just spoiled, I guess.
