Specifically Marilyn Manson and Kanye West. Am I overthinking this?

Well there is enjoying an artists music and there is supporting an artist and defending them. But you have to decide when to cut off an, "abusive relationship". I can hold a person and artist in separate spaces. A love a lot of music, literature, art that was created by terrible people but try and avoid giving those people my attention and money. Other people have said that while an artist creates, its not their art, it's ours. Perfect example is Harry Potter books. I would say that people's experience and enjoyment of the books is not JK. Now the tough decision comes when you want something created by an artist/company and you have to support them for your own enjoyment. That is the line we all consider. Just trust yourself to find it. Nothing is truly just in this world but we shouldn't stop trying.

The bigger problem with Rowling is how she rubs it in everyone's face that any money going towards her is spent on hate speech/groups.
