    Oh come on. That’s so dishonest and disgusting to continue to spread that distorted lukewarm rhetoric. She’s a literal billionaire, actively personally platforming anti trans rights and condoning hate and violence.

    This is so far past separating art from artists even several years ago and you know it.

    She hates trans people so much that she’s making life worse for cis people and women, too. I would call her a politician, but she’s a billionaire using that money to put up ads, start programs, spread misinformation on a global scale, and has ties to Epstein and Israel.

    She’s literally an evil person and supporting her is morally indefensible.

    So get the fuck up out of here with that “so many people are INCAPABLE of being rational” bullshit. That’s inflammatory nonsense rhetoric. Before you next time, do any level of research on the topic other than suckling on jkr’s twisted pr posts directly and then coming on here and repeating a shitty right wing political talking points.

        I agree with you that we should seperate art from the artist. But, at the same time, we probably should avoid giving financial support to an artist actively using it for evil. It’s pretty easy to avoid buying a donut.
