So we all agree that if Hitler were profiting from a new HBO series, none of us would watch that. How far away from Hitler does one have to be to no longer warrant a boycott?
I think your thinking of this as a reason not to consume it but its a good point. If they have one drunk driving offense. If they jay walked. What is a light enough offense to overlook. Like there is a ton of movies that Harvey Weinstein had a hand in and so don’t watch any of those.
What if the offense isn’t in the past? What if it’s ongoing, and giving the person more money enables them to be even more harmful in the future?
I could see that as being a good place to draw the line. Like maybe I’ll watch an old Kevin Spacey movie, but I won’t give money to someone who is going to use that money to harm innocent people.

I think being an idiot doesn’t warrant this inane reaction.
She is not a criminal in any way shape or form.
How about people worry about not giving money to actual criminals like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, etc?
I mean she’s not just an idiot. She’s actively harming a group of vulnerable people. I’m not sure why it matters if it’s legal.
She funded a campaign that resulted in the loss of human rights for transgender people in the UK.
She is not an idiot, she is an actively harmful bigot that you are funding if you watch her shows.
What human right did transgender people lose on account of the campaign she funded?
Are you incapable of doing both? What barriers do you think exist that people must overcome to not give any number of bigots money?

That only applies if your paying for it and the thread seems to be against pirating it.
I’d give it a try.
