actually you can and its quite easy to do for 99% of artists
Lovecraft is long past dead, nothing comes from buying his books. Rowling is alive and using her clout to actively remove resources from a minority community while using and encouraging hate speech.
You can't separate the artist from their art when you are promoting or paying them. That's just turning a blind eye.
YOU can. I have moral qualms handing a dollar to someone if I know they're going to use part of that dollar to convince trans kids to kill themselves.
Especially for something with simple alternatives like entertainment.
