Jul. 12th, 2013 10:55 amPolitics and Art - There's an interesting post about the Orson Scott Card/Ender's Game boycott hooha here - http://nihilistic-kid.livejournal.com/1843125.html
I have to admit I'm one of the people who is made uncomfortable by the boycotting of people's works because of their political views. It's all a bit too much "he is not a member of the party so his book will not be published" for my tastes. I mean I'm cool with "this guy is a douche for the following reasons, and I won't be paying for the film," because I am all about individual choice and informing people of stuff, but organised art boycotting, count me out.
