    Pretty much. But i have a nitpick with the “death of the author” critique in relation to boycotts and moral positions.

    I disconnect the author from their work in a judgment and appreciation sense: I’d never say Harry Potter isn’t bad because Rowling wrote it. But promoting or purchasing their work provides tangible support to a shithead, so that’s where I draw the line. If Ben-Gvir opened a kickass breakfast joint with the best waffles in the world, I could agree it has good food, but I’d hope people would understand as to why I’d refuse to eat there and shame anyone who did.
