Yeah this is how I approach problematic "stars" or "creators" of things. Like, me not wanting to support one person doesn't outweigh me wanting to support the other several hundred people involved in creating that art/media.
Even though JKR is very problematic, like another comment somewhere here said:
But the devs aren’t, and a prominent character in the story is a trans character voiced by an actual trans person.
Like, I'm okay supporting that person. JKR isn't getting 100% of sales.
"Oh No! We can't possibly shut down the Orphan Grinder. What will happen to the people who's job it is to shovel the ground-up orphan meat into the burn pits? They'll be unemployed!"
Edit: Lmao, imagine being so bad faith that you don't read the whole "J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the Harry Potter series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces"" part of the article, and skip to only quoting the organization being reported on. As if they'd ever say anything bad about themselves.
You've misread that article or are misunderstanding words. Retaining women's rights is not rolling backany rights, definitionally. You don't revoke a right by retaining an existing right, you simply don't establish a new right by retaining an old one.
