With all the hate towards J.K Rowling (deserved) and lets say Kanye West for example, you can enjoy the art but can you really separate what they create from what they say?

Most of the time I don’t know the artist, and usually don’t care about knowing them. In the rare cases where I do know them is usually because they’re a PoS. And in those cases I make a point of not giving them money, but that doesn’t mean not enjoying their art. For example Harry Potter has a quote that is very pro-trans, during the scene where everyone drank Polyjuice potion to look like Harry there’s this bit of text:
Note that Hermione was in Harry’s body at that moment, so she was a woman in the body of a man, and notice how JK Rowling uses a feminine pronoun there. This means that she fully understands that trans women are women, she’s just a PoS that even understanding that devotes time and money to take away their rights.
