@nudlan@mastodon.social @BenRiceM@mastodon.social Please don't say "separate the art from the artist" if you don't know its correct usage. It's a concept in art studies and is almost exclusively used for artists who are dead and no longer harming people with their beliefs and money. JK Rowling has been international news for years now for the harm she's doing to both trans people and women worldwide. If you're not aware of it, you're not paying attention, and at some point that's your own fault. I will gladly educate people on it as these conversations occur. But trans people are fucking exhausted. And your comment is just making excuses for that.

@nudlan@mastodon.social @BenRiceM@mastodon.social "Death of the artist" only applies when the artist is actually dead, otherwise you're still supporting a horrible person and then lying to yourself about it. Of course people who still enjoy HP aren't doing it because they *want* to be hateful, but they are still contributing to giving a hateful person the platform she uses to hurt others. You'd have to be pretty oblivious or willfully ignorant to not know who she is and what she does. There is no excuse.
