Transgender World"Giving money to J.K.Rowling is the same as giving money to eradicate transgender people. I'm sorry, but it's true."

Michael T Babcock@transworld its not, this is oversimplification, and its a fallacy.
You can *try* to avoid spending money places that support things you don't support, but you'll fail.
Example, Coca Cola has this many executives: https://www.coca-colacompany.com/about-us/leadership
Do you know what every one of them supports? Do you know how every one of them votes? Can you drink any of their products as a result?
Now do this with EVERY corporation.
People have to live their lives. You can support art and artists you don't agree with.

Noa@mikebabcock @transworld this isn't a fallacy though. "No ethical consumption under capitalism" doesn't mean "it's ok to spend money with this person actively funding the eradication of human of a certain category". The dog analogy is literally 1:1.
(Not talking to the transphobe but to anyone else reading; of course I blocked this asshole rather than attempt "discourse" with someone who's already made up they're mind that it's ok for people to die for their consumerism)
Mich@vex @mikebabcock @transworld 1/4
jk rowling’s words and actions against trans people are truly awful. but the art/artist argument is real and complicated.
art becomes so much more than the artist. and yet the originator of something is paid the primary royalties.
if i enjoy the art, how do i reconcile that with the originator’s current actions?
i used to love hp. rn there’s so much other (better) fantasy i have discovered and fallen into. is complex
@theatremaker @[email protected] @transworld a person who buy blood diamonds over lab grown diamonds exhibits racism due to contributing to funding the exploitation.
A person who buys blood art exhibits bigotries as well. JKR literally uses money from her franchise to push laws & lies that literally result in fewer rights (i.e. increases exploitation & death) for women & trans men. You being stuck on "art vs artist" when the prior art-free example shows it's irrelevant, is avoidance, not a mistake. You simply want to enjoy your blood media without caring about the blood. & You want other people being ok with you not caring.
