IMO you have to stick to your guns no matter what. I have to put a side that I love something and abandon it or my word means nothing. That logic is freaking stupid and I'm tired of seeing it everywhere. That mentality that "if you are truly with us, you cannot like X or you're not with us!".

The No True Scotman's fallacy is bullshit, plain and simple. Thinking you have to kneel to it, is pathetic. You and your word will NOT mean nothing just because you like X despite being Y. And anyone who thinks so is a complete idiot.

Just ask any single Brony in the US army. Do they or their opinions matter any less just because they watch My Little Pony despite being grown men? Fucking no.

I can't say "racism is wrong and needs to end" and then be a fan boy for a KKK member just because they do great Batman comics. Race is a issue with me but a positive one. More like positive multiplied by a negative.

Yes you can. If anyone asks, just do the smart thing and tell them: "I like the comics for what they are. The author? That's another matter".

People are different and have different cultures. That needs to be embrace. Embrace the different culture and just tolerate the differences if you don't like what each group of people does. And this is where your hipocrite views come out. First you say "If the author of X work was the kind of person I detest, I would refuse to even acknowledge that work on principle"

And then you say "Everyone is different, and everyone should tolerate each other's differences."

Practice what you preach, or don't preach it to begin with.

But ignoring who you are and just pretending everyone is just "gray" is wrong to me. That logic is dumb. You don't have to "ignore who you are". You don't have to "pretend everyone is grey". That's a completely irrelevant subject.

Our point is, a work, and their author, need to be judged independently. A book is great, then it's great, no matter who made it or which views they have. You can hate the author, or their opinions, as much as you like, and still love their creations.

Particularly easier when the author is smart enough to leave their views out of their works, or at least not blast them in our face......or crazy enough to include them in a way that no one without context could ever tell what those views are.

Basically, leave aside your opinion of the person when judging their work. Just because they are what you hate, it doesn't mean the work is automatically bad and should be ignored, and thinking you should ignore it just because of that is, plain and simple, stupid.
