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

Yes, I'm very "death of the artist". But to me, that mostly means that the artist doesn't get any more say in what a finished piece of art means than anybody else.

If I like a piece of art, but not the artist that made it, that's not a contradiction to me. Bad people can still make great art. Take Ace of Base: I'm never going to give them money, but I still listen to "Cruel Summer". This is a song that is definitely not promoting White Supremacy.

Hol' up. What's up with Ace of Base?

The songwriter was a neonazi.

Wasn't aware of the accusation. I read some articles, and I'm skeptical. I guess it doesn't bother me either way, I never bought any album from them, and I won't start now.
