    Well, were you to find it on the high seas, you could still enjoy the universe without contributing to anything related…
    That’s what someone I know (possibly the one writing this post) does with games from shitty developers/editors that I still want to try.

      I definitely don’t think we should boycott every creation that comes from a shitty person. I mean, Thomas Edison was a pretty terrible person, from what I understand.

        Thanks for voicing your disagreement. While I happily engage in this discussion, I believe your initial argument is somewhat lacking.

        I believe there are two major differences between Edison and Rowling:

        1. In my opinion, we can all without Rowling’s writings (there is a lot of better fantasy out there for everyone) but we rely on a lot of technology attributed to Edison in our daily lives and not using them would be next to impossible (at least for me)
        2. AFAIK using techs attributed by Edison doesn’t contribute to his personnal wealth or help him push a transphobic and generally far-right agenda

        What do you think ?
