 You really enjoy the arts and not support the artist? Financially, it's tough. Generally, artists earn royalties from their books, films, TV shows, or music, regardless of the things they say or even crimes they might commit. J.K. Rowling, for instance, earns somewhere between 50 and 100 million dollars annually in Harry Potter royalties, despite what she tweets. And Michael Jackson still ranks in 35 million dollars a year for his estate, but does it count if they're dead? You can try to avoid supporting controversial artists whose art you still like by buying secondhand. The royalties for that printed copy of Deathly Hallows were already paid. For films or TV shows, you could DVR them, if you still have traditional TV. And there's always the library.
