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?

    To a certain degree, I’m a big fan of Hip Hop and Reggae and both genres are inescapably homophobic and misogynistic but I can look past most of the less than savoury parts, there’s also a lot of glorifying violence in a lot of the music (though once you dig past a lot of the gangsta stuff it’s much less common) but it doesn’t bother me.

    I can’t listen to Afrika Bambaataa anymore though since the child sexual assault cases came to light, same goes for a lot of acts.

    I also can’t support anyone who is actively oppressing others like Jim Rowling or Graham Linehan despite how much I may have previously enjoyed their work.
