so you pirate it - but why? why would you want to consume something you know was made by someone who is awful?

With this logic, why even turn on the TV?

it's hard. I love the Sandman. I won't watch it going forward, knowing Gaiman's violence. I have the entire collected series, doubt ever read 'em again.

this is life: we change our plans when faced with reality, every day. you can choose to ignore the bigotry, but I choose to find new things to consume.

Two thoughts. The first and most egregious one is, "Because it is entertaining and I enjoy it."

Probably the more palatable reason, however, is to be able to engage in discourse regarding the content of the media in relation to its creator(s).
