Yeah. I've always found that to be stupid. If someone is a shitty person, their art is probably shitty too. And even if their art isn't shitty, I dont like supporting shitty people.
the same thing applies to any establishment or person displaying their allegiance to the regime, be it BLM flags, pride flags, jewkraine flags..... dont give them money/attention

I disagree. We should separate the art from the artist.
This requires some precaution because you dont want to encourage and financially support a shit person but if his art is genuinely good im not going to say its bad. Im going to say its good but i am also making sure i add that hes a shit person. And i definitely wont give him publicity or recommend him
The Church published a guideline on what written works are forbidden in general so applying that to modern media will eliminate 99% of slop from your eyes and ears. No need for me to research the artist when their works speak on their behalf.
Otherwise if it passes the checklist, I don’t look into the artist because most of the world isn’t a traditional Catholic. Unless the artist was publicly mocking the Church and God, I’m only going to look at the art.
The only good art a jew can ever make will be good in spite of their views, not because of them. A perfect example of this is that Watchman comic, despite the author intending Rorschach to be the "muh racist homophobic redneck" villain and the psychotic murderous billionaire commie sympathizer intended to be the "enlightened man making tough decisions", everyone sided with Rorschach because he ended up being an actual likeable character.
You can't support them if they are dead or in jail.
