Please don't say "separate the art from the artist" if you don't know its correct usage.
It's a concept in art studies and is almost exclusively used for artists who are dead and no longer harming people with their beliefs and money.
JK Rowling has been international news for years now for the harm she's doing to both trans people and women worldwide. If you're not aware of it, you're not paying attention, and at some point that's your own fault.
I will gladly educate people on it as these conversations occur. But trans people are fucking exhausted. And your comment is just making excuses for that.

@CordiallyChloe@tech.lgbt @BenRiceM@mastodon.social Well I apologise if I am using a 'layman's term' for the separation but even taking that out I don't think my point is excusing awful behaviour but rather observing what is fair in reality. The very motherboards we communicate with are produced within completely inhumane & unacceptable working conditions in places where human rights are merely an idea. I think if we can buy & use tech despite that then I think people enjoying a fantasy despite writers isn't wrong.
