[+] rab@lemmy.ca -7 points 3 years ago (1 child) Miss out on a lot of good art then permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] toastus@feddit.de 10 points 3 years ago Depends on how many artists work I choose to avoid. Right now there is one. Her books meant a lot to me through my youth but I don't really miss any of the newer stuff that I don't consume. And there are enough other books to read. And before I get called hypocritical for not avoiding other, arguably worse, artists, it's not like I actively seek out stuff to boycott. Rowling just actively inserted herself into a public conversation and now that I lost all respect for her I can't really enjoy her art anymore. That's too bad for me, but the movies turned to shit anyway, so I guess I just stick to art, that brings me more joy. permalink fedilink source parent
