So for example Gygax is dead, so I would never judge him to harshly, because no matter what, he will stay dead and not change his mind or his ways. That's why I also have no problem enjoying H.P. Lovecraft Stories or content. He is dead. And even in life, he didn't use his income to agitate openly against minorities for example.But for living content creators - I look at what they are doing right now and what they are doing with the money they gain from their content. J.K. Rowling for example uses her fame and money to support Anti-Trans-Hate groups. It looks like her whole purpose in life is to.make life for Trans people miserable. She gives money to this cause (and to Hate groups) and so I will abstain from buying anything Harry Potter related, because doing so would fund her crusade against Transpeople.Now, if she would be dead for Xx years and the money of HP products would just go to a company holding the rights, but not fueling an AntiTrans Campaign I would have no problem buying HP products again.Let's see ... ah, counter example Tom Curise. He is a freaking member of Scientology, but, he is not actively promoting Scientology or other harmful stuff. His money goes into making more Action Movies. I have no problems watching Movies of him. Or Chris Pratt - who seems like a horrible human being to his ex wife and first child, but (as far as I know) is not promoting anything harmful. I still can enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy and discuss him on his merits of his Acting and how good the movies are he is in. With J.K. Rowling I don't think that is possible anymore.That's where I try to draw the line, of that makes sense.</blockquote>
