billseipel<p>I believe in separating the art from the artist.</p><p>This is a personal choice, based in forgiving but not forgetting.</p><p>I have no relationship to most artists and do not believe that providing an income, promotes their "bad deeds". Much in the same way that all the money & means in the world make great art or promotes good deeds. Quite the contrary.</p><p>A preference for art is not an endorsement of behavior.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/artists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artists</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/controversy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>controversy</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>culture</span></a></p>
