@Keldrim@meow.social death of the author was always about what you take away from the text, not what the author takes away from your money. and it usually works a hell of a lot better if said author is, you know, long dead

@Keldrim@meow.social @eniko@peoplemaking.games Separating the art from the artist can be fine if done properly. As in, fully separate it. Don't give them any money. Don't give them any exposure. Read/watch/play/enjoy the thing, sure, but don't share that you did. Don't put it on Goodreads, don't put it in a public Spotify playlist, because then you're giving them exposure, you're associating yourself with the artist and you're reminding your peers of the existence of said artist. Yes this is very hard, so you should probably stay away from the art.
