      I am not sure who this guy is, or why we aren’t more open to separating the work from the artist; seems to be a kind of ad hominem. If you don’t want to give them money for the work you can still buy second hand or just pirate.

        His name is/was JonTron IIRC.

        I stop being able to separate the art from the artist when they start using their platform to push their views. Which is what he did. If you are famous and you never mention your ideology then more power to you but when you go on a tirade during an interview about something else you lose that separation.
