What I mean is, it's ok to enjoy a movie without taking into consideration the politics or religion of the people behind the camera. Most films are made by scumbags. The producers, the directors, the writers --all of them. But, as soon as a work of fiction is released to the public, I think it BELONGS to the public. It should be viewed as it's own, distinct thing and should be judged by its merits alone. Now, the exception to this is when there's an obvious agenda being pushed. Then it's going to suck anyways, so whatever.

You can always pirate movies if you don't want to fund a specific studio. Or just not watch their shit.

You're still supporting it, dumbass.

Let's say jackass releases a good movie.

You pirate it because you want to see it/NEED to see it for some fucking reason

You talk about it.

You promoted them. Good job!

Disclaimer: I have/do watch bullshit that also has propaganda or propagandaist promoters. I feel it's bad to encourage people to watch it though. I've thought about how there should be a sub that people watch and flag movies and series that have propaganda or are made by jackasses.

I might also be a hypocrite in that I've enjoyed music without researching studios, etc.

I think we should strive to be better but some of these things are a part of us already. Some of us grew up with the music and movies that we find now are "bad".

Does stripping that away rob us in another sense? Hell. Is that part of robbing our identity?

Fuck it. Watch and post what you like in your sub.
