    This is why i call it separating the artisr from the finance, the art is just unavoidable collateral damage.

    Perfect example. Hp Lovecraft is dead he gains no money, rallies no crowd, calls no lawmaker. JkR does still, she does gain money and spends it trying to make the world worse for people.

      Yeah and Lovecraft came to see his racism was wrong before the end of his short life. Rowling so far has only clamped down harder on her detrimental bullshit.

      Lovecraft is also a different case. It should be obvious now that he was a clinical xenophobe and was afraid of most things. He wasn’t really looking to put other people down to compensate for his own shortcomings. If Lovecraft was still alive, I wouldn’t argue with people boycotting him, but he’s not the same as JK.

    image of text
    long, narrow, harder to read, not searchable, not accessible
    no text alternative or link even through a demonetized client like nitter.net

    breaking the web like this is unnecessary: OP should edit the post to add a link as suggested in rule 4

      It truly is an encapsulation of ablism that you’re being downvoted regarding keeping things accessible on a post about causing harm to the marginalized.
