    false dichotomy arguments that you can’t appreciate music made by a person if that person is considered a bad person

    For me this is more about making someone more popular and making them profits by listening to their music. And then there’s also a possibility that someone is considered a bad person for their views that are also displayed in their music, then I consider that I might start viewing their opinion as the norm, and also prefer not to listen to them.

    All in all, I agree that the dichotomy is false, but I think it has some sense in some cases.

      There’s definitely logic behind wanting to boycott their art so that you are not indirectly supporting their decisions by giving them the money to continue to do the things that they’re doing.

      Of course, that is also a separate decision from whether you like the art or whether you like the artist.

      Anyone trying to tie these things together is generally not someone I would want to associate with.

        Oh, yeah, I kinda mixed together liking and supporting in the ‘appreciate’.
