It’s because he’s religious and republican. People don’t realize you can like the art and not the artist. I don’t like Stephen King as a person, but as a reader, I love his books. It’s sad that you can’t like a person just for who they are as a human. It’s all politics these days. My grandmother was republican and my grandfather was democrat, they were married 55 years. My husband and I have different views, we’ve been together for 12 years.

Racism bigotry misogyny .. sorry Trumper.... that ain't politics. That's hate speech and hatred. You don't get a pass claiming that that kind of vile garbage is just politics.

Their old arguments are tired now, but as we see, they keep throwing them out willy nilly.

If you knew an artist liked to have sex with children, would you still go with that argument?

Don't try to make it seem unjust for people to make judgments about a person based on the values they support, and then refuse to support their work.
