This is a good moral compromise in that it allows you to enjoy the art without the moral complications of commercially supporting a rapist, but I think some people might argue that it doesnāt go far enough and that we should essentially culturally boycott the art as well, that an artistās reputation rests partially on how their art is perceived, and by continuing to enjoy that art and share it with others, you continue to support the artist in some sense.
Not sure I know how I feel about that argument, but I think itās an intuition some folks have or an argument they make.
Thatās fair. I think because in Gaimanās case itās still fresh for me, and really came out of nowhere, so I donāt like to talk about them much.
With JK, itās so evident in her writing that she had some prejudice that it really didnāt surprise me much, so I internalized that quickly and moved on.
I donāt provide either with my money, and pirate them whenever I want something.
I get what youāre saying, but why not recommend them with the caveat that the other person should pirate them?
