But other people shouldn't. Maybe you have to be black to make jokes about racism.  Personally I don't agree with Ellis.However I think if you find someone repellent, it's very much ok not to purchase/view/read their artistic creations. I pretty much never feel that way about expressed opinions, but when I know a creator has done horrible things to other people, I definitely tend not to want to engage with their creations. So I'll avoid looking at the RPG products of the Norwegian church-burning murderer. I might avoid his products because of his political views too, especially if those appear to be expressed in his work, but it's the actions that are the main repellent.</blockquote>
