(Anonymous) 2013-08-02 02:08 am (UTC)(link)If the plumber comes in and says "The minute I get your check, I'm going to the shelter, purchasing a puppy with the money, and drowning it for fun." Can you smile and go "hey, not my business what you do with the money!" with a clear conscious? Go out and write a second check to the Humane Society to alleviate the guilt? Or do you go "Get the hell out of my house and I'm telling everyone I know what you plan to do with your money!"?
He's the producer, and he's getting a good chunk of the ticket sales, and my money would be going directly to him campaigning to keep being gay illegal where the OP is, and working against human rights in America.
His book may not be evil, but he is.

But it's not OP's fault. Card's actions are his alone, and he bears the blame. Yes, it would be nice to be able to say, "Thanks for the work but fuck you for your politics," but it's not really possible in this case. OP is doing what they feel they personally and legally can by offsetting the ticket with a donation, because the story means that much to them. It's not OP's resposibility what Card does with the money he's given.
The RIAA treats customers like criminals, to put it lightly, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop purchasing music. Music is too important to me, and you can't find a substitute for that one song. I'm going to speak against their actions, but I can't function without music. If OP needs Ender's Game, let them have it.

(Anonymous) 2013-08-02 04:06 am (UTC)(link)I don't disagree exactly, but your analogy doesn't really fit. If your sink is overflowing, you need a plumber, but you don't need a puppy murdering plumber. Likewise, the OP doesn't have to monetarily support Card's project. They can choose not to.
Now mind you, I'm not trying to dictate their choice one way or another, but presenting the situation as if there's no choice at all ("it's not really possible in this case") just weakens the argument. The real issue is that the OP should be able to see this movie because they want to, and only they can decide if it's worth it to them despite Card's homophobia and awful politics.
