I'm not sure we have a more explicit example of an artist who said "hey, if you give me any money I will definitely go hurt this small group of people with it, so.... money please??" Some situations have nuance. She smashed all nuance with a sledgehammer years ago.

This. TBC, the reason my family won't support anything HP-related is NOT because I have some grand moral view that it's only acceptable to support work created by good people. It's because she is literally, publicly using the $ from her books/show/games/etc to do bad things that hurt people I love.

There are a lot of situations with a lot of artists where my stance is "I'm not putting anything in their pocket but you do you." We crossed that line with her a long time ago. If you give her money, knowing what she's going to do with it... I think less of you.
