If you can separate the artist’s power and wealth from the art, this works, typically when they’ve been dead for a while. Otherwise you’re just feeding them. Rowling herself has used the money to actively fight trans people’s rights in court and used her influence to give her actions public backing.
That’s not what I would call it. I think people say that to justify continuing to consume the art, which thereby supports the artist. I think support and consumption should be stopped entirely.
I know many don’t agree but i even think we shouldn’t pirate the art. Consuming it perpetuates relevancy, even if not giving support financially.
You’re allowed to look back fondly while being aware of the problems. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Life is full of nuance.
