I'm not going to choose what I do or do not watch, listen to, or buy according to the political views of those involved in its creation. We live in a democracy, and our right to protest is crucial to that.

Think about it....do you really only want entertainment from politically correct people?

Why not? If they feel like making a statement with which I disagree, then I can choose not to support them with my money. Seems quite reasonable (not that I'd insist you do it, of course).

Yup! They can protest what they want, and I can protest them. Nobody's suggesting they be suppressed, just that they not be supported.

I was tempted to say that those on the list are the politically correct types, but your question is still worth considering. If the politically correct are suppressed, then it's just as reasonable to be concerned that only the politically correct would not be suppressed.

None of that is relevant to the issue at hand. What I'd prefer is to be entertained by those who provide the entertainment I pay for, not those who use my money to undermine the country. If they'd stay silent on political issues, I'd be happy to see good movies regardless of their private political views. But as soon as they go public, their publicity becomes support for their message, and I won't contribute to that.

There's all the difference in the world between declining to support someone with my money, and actively working to suppress someone. All these lists provide is data that can help you decide whom you want to actively support with your money.

Of course, you can make whatever choice you want with your money - at least as long as those guys don't get their way.
