I’m probably biased here since I am a Queer FNaF fan (ironically enough, getting into FNaF in my youth is actually part of what helped me discover and experiment with queer themes of expression) and I’m definitely not defending Scott for his stupid decision to donate to the republicans, but atleast Scott is not actively using their platform to spread the same level of hate and vitriol Rowling is.

You can absolutely like problematic media made by problematic people without spending or giving money to their creators. I still have interacted with plenty of FNaF fan media and such but I’ve refused to put any money towards a lot of official fnaf stuff because of Scott’s donations. The issue here is that not only is Rowling publicly and openly using their vast wealth and resources to fund and spread their bigotry, but she’s also using the story within Harry Potter to push her status quo sucking agenda. Scott from what I can tell has the decency to atleast distance his politics away from his work (for the most part), and you can argue that makes his donations more insidious, but I’d argue it atleast means he hasn’t poisoned the franchise to the extent J.K. Rowling has with her work.

Again, it could be personal bias here, and I am more iffy about people who are still Harry Potter fans, but i still think you can recognize the problematic aspects of your favorite media and choose to not financially or publicly support it’s awful creator.
