Do you separate the art from the artists? If no, are you strict about it or do you cherry-pick? (lemmy.world)

Agreed.

It's also hard for me because so many artists are pedophiles (for example) that it's hard to remember who's who. Being able to block artists on streaming services is helpful, though I will admit that I have a lot of music (and podcasts) to sort through that I may not get to anytime soon.

Now if I could block actors, producers, etc on TV/movie services, that would be awesome.

But I don't pause my life to research everyone involved in a project. So unfortunately I assume many people slip through the cracks.

I don't research every book, movie, album before consuming, but yes, if it's by someone I recognize and have moral/ethical problems with, I will avoid it.

Same. If i see shitty news/stories about someone, then ill likely stop supporting them to the best of my ability. Sometimes its unavoidable, sometimes its too much effort, sometimes its so entrenched its impossible to eliminate (like nestle, tho i try hard AF to avoid them).

If someone i know tells me why i shouldnt support someone/something then i will take that more to heart and actively research & avoid it. It obviously means enough to them to share their concerns, and id rather support my friends.
