Right, but OSC is never going to feel you not buying that book. If you can't get past OSC being a homophobic piece of poo poo to the point that it impacts your enjoyment of the book, by all means don't buy or read his poo poo. But your individual purchasing habits are in no way going to impact the lives of the creators, the only person you are affecting is yourself. So, self-denying in order to punish a person for having bad politics or morals isn't actually doing anything.

Maybe he won't, but the more people I encourage not to purchase his works, the more likely it is he will feel it. Orson Scott Card in particular is funny-rear end example to use because people refusing to purchase his products has had a negative impact on him and the work he can get.

You don't remember the backlash when he was going to write a Superman comic?
