I personally don’t because I view giving any kind of support as subsidising their problematic views.

Neither I guess? I hate the expression "separating the work from the artist". It assumes that you can only completely ignore the context or reduce everything to the context. Humans are capable of more than that. You don't even have to actively decide how much you value the context and whether or not you are comfortable with a piece of art. It'll happen automatically.

Regarding not giving support to an artist whose views you strongly oppose, then it's about the product and not the work. There's a huge difference between opposing the power an artist gains from their product and opposing the art itself.
