I approach these from two perspectives: 1. Similar to "ethical consumption under capitalism", consumption is not politics, nor is it morality. You are not defined by what you consume, good or bad. A common conversation in The Book Barn is whether it is acceptable to read books by the Japanese fascist/volkisch author Mishima, because despite his politics (and hilarious death), he was a gifted writer. I don't subscribe to the theory that reading him is endorsing his politics, and the common slandering of people who read his works as fascist adjacent is abhorrent to me. 2. That said, if you have a hard time watching the face of a rapist, or being reminded of the artists politics, that is perfectly understandable. I don't blame anyone for avoiding Kevin Spacey movies.
