There are certainly reasons other than enjoyment to consume someone’s work, but does knowing someone did or continues to do harmful things in part because of people enjoying their work not affect your enjoyment of it? It certainly affects mine.
You’re not wrong. For instance, I can’t listen to McCafferty anymore because that guy is a scumbag. But I’m also an HP Lovecraft head; that was a man who was incredibly racist and xenophobic, utterly filled to the brim with hate. In some of his stories, the bad guy is “race mixing”. I still watch Andor even though Disney is horrifically unethical.
Anyway I’m not trying to enable rapists and scumbags, just trying to promote ethical piracy.
Sailing the seas is my typical go-to when I want to read work by people I hate 👍 or like second hand hardcopies he wouldn’t benefit from
