    No, that’s not similar at all. If you have to stop to consider the political opinions of everyone involved in anything you ever do, buy, use… You’ll never end up using anything. Do you actually mean I cannot enjoy old art done in the past because the ones creating it probably had some shitty ideals, opinions or morals?

    A shitty person can do something good. Accepting something good from a shitty person doesn’t mean we need to share or support everything about that person. You can criticize one aspect of something and accept the good of the same thing. The world is not so black and white.

    Edit: mind you, there’s a case to be made when supporting something good means providing indirect support to something bad. But that is far from accepting you will use software from people with shitty ideas.
