CMV: Supporting artists who are bad people is unethical

I mean, there’s so much great art made by people who don’t rape / aren’t racist etc.
By supporting Chris brown for example you are directly helping someone who beats women. I don’t really care if you like his music, the way I see it only a complete asshole would value their enjoyment of a song over not supporting this guy.
Even if you don’t financially support him and pirate his songs, being a fan of someone still has an impact on their success, maybe an extremely small one but given his heinous acts I don’t think you should want to support him on ANY level.
I doubt anyone would support him if he did that to them or someone they loved, just because he did it to a stranger doesn’t make it suddenly less wrong.

Using economic systems to replace justice systems is shifting the burden of justice to each individual. Rather than placing the ethical blame at each dilute consumer, it is far more conducive to place such blame on the concentrated power of the judicial system.
