JK Rowling is not a bad writer. She IS a dangerous bigot who devotes her substantial resources towards making life unlivable for trans people.

Hans Zimmer is not a bad composer. He IS a man who decided JKR’s actions were not a dealbreaker if it meant money in his pocket.

People on this site have already expounded on the danger of conflating talent and morality.

It is always more important to explain that A) this Artist represents a clear and present danger, abused their platform and money, and must be boycotted to keep others safe than B) this Artist is bad at art

If you’re caught up in spending time trying to convince others of B, you’re wasting time and energy as well as diverting others’ attention from point A.

Or worse! If someone did not find B to be true, they might question the validity of A!

It also affected Roma, disabled people, queer, intersex and trans people, communists, Jehovah's witnesses, slavs and I think thats it. Denial of the persecution of any of these groups is holocaust denial

Btw if it adds to my credibility, i have a special interest in fascism, temporarily studied history, and my grandfather who raised me was the son of an Aushwitz survivor so I know what im talking about

Here are some sources!
