Stop it. I am saying, as a committed anti-Zionist, that this is backward and reactionary. Policing the politics of artists and attempting to silence them by economic pressure is right wing and in the end gives aid and comfort to the defenders of the status quo. Just don't.

@StevenBrust this is pretty silly
@StevenBrust So should I support J. K. R*wling financially? Should I not feel bad about giving Orson Scott Card money? How do we hold artists who threaten the wellbeing of marginalized groups accountable?
@StevenBrust Wow! There really is an attempt to turn the clock back to the 1800s!!
@StevenBrust As someone raised largely without religion and as someone steeped in sci-fi/fantasy through childhood, let me just say that I can't hear that word without picturing the captain of a starship shouting, "FIRE ZION CANNONS!!!" ...you should hear where my brain goes with "zygote".

@StevenBrust I am going to ask if deciding not to buy from certain people in the first place counts? I mean, I haven’t bought anything from Piers Anthony in many years in no small part because his terrible gender politics shows in his work.
@StevenBrust > Policing the politics of artists and attempting to silence them by economic pressure is right wing Ever heard of J. K. Rowling?
