"We can only recognize his flaws, and enjoy those parts of his work that do appeal to us: his fantastical imagination and worlds"

I feel this statement works for a lot of creators views i disagree with.

That works great for crappy dead dudes and literally anyone else who isn't using their considerable platform and influence to contribute serious harm to people just trying to live their lives (like, literally yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that...)

It's really hard to be ethical. And while I share your belief re: A, it's not just about her (she who will not be named). It's also about the cast (Eddie Redmayne- who made notable statement in support of the trans community, Jude Law etc.) and the crew and so on.

It has been made slightly easier to make the choice, given that she has said that she considers the continuing patronage of fans to be statements of agreement with her position. Her work simply isn't that good to have me send a signal that I agree with her.

Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law will have other roles I can enjoy. The folks in the cast who get paid based on gross ticket sales have already earned more than I ever will. Those who don't get paid based on gross have already been paid, and will not be at all harmed by my choosing not to see a film. Ergo, there's no ethical harm from choosing to not see it.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not know that. Wow. Well, that makes things REALLY EASY.

(Also making it easy? Never a big fan. As sad as it is to say, it's easier to do the right thing when you're not giving much up.)

Yep. I don't usually make those kinds of decisions quickly or easily, but this one was a rare exception. I flushed that toilet and walked away.

Yeah - I don't have a linkable quote on that, I'm afraid, but my wife follows such things more closely than I, and I trust her when she tells me about them.

It's a very slippery slope when you start boycotting, do you just boycott the one thing or do you boycott the whole company and everything related and how far down the money road are you willing to go?

So getting away from that mess,I'm currently in the ER due to asthma and there was a crime scene tech here.
