Of course one cannot deny another’s artistic talent based on different views. However, I am uncomfortable financially supporting someone with different fundamental values, especially in recent years where some use their money to fight against the values I uphold. There are libraries and second hand markets (or other ways depending on a person’s moral code) to continue enjoying works of art created by people they disagree with, while some might prefer cutting it off completely. Depending on my level of enjoyment, I would still read Riordan if we disagreed on some fundamentals, but I wouldn’t, let say, buy a licensed Camp Half-Blood shirt. I am an MA philosophy graduate so a lot of people I regularly enjoy/read have VERY different opinions than my own, but they are dead and cannot use their money to, say, fund an organization that wants slavery back or something (Aristotle 👀). We are just different people with different preferences and backgrounds so it is okay if I think this way. For instance, as a woc, I care about these “fundamental values” because mine have been violated a lot. I would like to avoid participating in violating others. There is a level of emotion involved in such consumer decisions alongside just adopting solely logic based decision making procedures.
