I used to be of that opinion, but after a series of conversations about it I came around to the idea that any engagement, even non-commercial, has the effect of promoting the brand.
I’m just waiting for her to die so we can do like Lovecraft and enjoy the books while hating the author.
This just ends up with the argument of “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism”
People are gonna do what they can to stay sane and engage with the things they find enjoyable. Unfortunately, literally everything in some way shape or form contributes to the oppression of minorities, LGBT+, workers, etc… through the fact that those producing these things have to engage in an exploitative system in order to maintain any sort of business.
That’s just the society we live in. So don’t blame people for being human, blame the system for exploiting our humanity and encourage the individual to find ways to bypass it, such as pirating media.
I’m not blaming anyone, I’m just investing my energies in other things. I have plans for after she dies, but as long as she can draw a profit form the brand I would personally rather boycott it.
