Right now we're in one of those times when people feel anguished about whether to support artists who they feel are immoral or politically undesirable, and where much art is coming out that is celebrated for being good because it parrots back to the viewer their own assumed politics.
$19,259,524--that is how much money from Ty Cobb has supported poor Georgia students with college scholarships.
(The Tommy Lee Jones movie is the only thing pop culture seems to know). Cobb invested in Coca-cola early, endowed a college scholarship for poor children and also supported his less well-off team mates in retirement.
JK Rowling's contributions to childhood literacy should count here. She is a billionaire on merit. Like the members of the Beatles, I'm sure she has some issues, but the work produced will last long after we dispense with this mediocre, self important, virtue signaling woke movement. (Even it it lasts the next century). Her books are full of positive themes for people of all ages. And unusual creativity. What are the artistic contributions of people who judge her? I don't want a Twitter mob dictating my artistic choices. I need things to read, listen to, and look at, that don't suck.
People like JK have FU money, which enables them to express themselves without fear, which is a true luxury today.
What "disturbing comments on trans issues" would these be? I think she's a greatly overrated writer, but I also think she's misrepresented here and examples of what she's said that's bad, as opposed to examples of people saying that she's said bad things, are as rare as flying broomsticks.
