Do you separate the art from the artists? If no, are you strict about it or do you cherry-pick? (lemmy.world)

Depends on the artist and depends on if they're still living and/or making money off of their work. HP Lovecraft? Dead, so I don't have any issues reading his work and still recognizing that he was a raging racist. Orson Scott Card? Still alive, so F him and his work. JK Rowling? F her and her work. Pirating their work would be a good way around it, but I don't know that I even care that much to make the effort.
