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.

However, if the work is political, religious, or economic, and you can't separate that, this is completely understandable on some levels

The key issue I had with this is, is sometimes the work itself is none of those things, but the artist is.

Specifically in the case for a certain magical school and the author of said work.

sometimes it's neither, and people read their own beliefs onto things, or they disliked it for a petty reason and need to make up a more substantial reason because they don't want to seem petty to other people.
