You ask me to separate the art from the artist, but this is a very dishonest sleigh of hand of your part: there is no separating the commercial product from the recipient of the royalties. You cannot say “yes, i give money to the author who uses it to harm minorities, but i mentally separate the person i give money to from the product i purchase”. You are trying to derail the conversation away from your direct economic complicity with material harm, towards abstract big brain concerns of semiotics and epistemology and other five dollar nerd words.
