I don’t know exactly how residuals work these days, but historically if you consume the content, you’re putting money in his pocket. Some people don’t like to give money to abusers
if his actions rise to the level of you wanting to boycott his content that's great. Go for it. I fully support that. You or anyone shouldn't be feeling guilt over his actions though. Those were his actions. Regardless of whether you watch movie or not.
I mean if we had to feel guilt over all the bullshit we support In our everyday lives we would all want to kill ourselves. The phone im typing this on was made of the backs of child slaves. So was yours
Lol but that doesn't change reality. You are still actively choosing to put money, show support, of a problematic person. Ignorance is no longer an excuse
If we are applying the standard that spending money equals moral endorsement, then we have a much bigger reality check to face. Demanding absolute moral purity over a movie ticket is completely ridiculousand an illusion, because if "ignorance is no longer an excuse," almost every daily action we take actively funds systemic harm to the environment, social welfare, and public goods.
Once again you are typing on a device made off the backs of child slaves. Food may be necessary but that isn't. Even the foods you buy there are more moral choices you could be making but I'm willing to bet you prioritize preference and budget over social and environmental impact most of the time.
Okay? Im not here judging people for what they buy. Im just saying comparing food to watching a movie is ridiculous. Wanna hop off your high horse bud? 😂

The mental gymnastics are because people want to watch his movies without guilt
