We've got a joint account http://12yo.icu/ 12yo Is there an impact? Yes. Short-term impact which is an unknown variable on the lives of all of these hypothetical people. The long-term impact of Card’s political activities on a much larger population of people (millions and millions of them) and/or the impact that will result from a boycott on Card’s future earning opportunity is the other side of the scale. The hypothetical people being hurt if the film fails are a different argument from saying that the people who worked directly on the film will be hurt, which is often the one put forth. Those people will not be substantively hurt by its failure because they’ve already been paid for their work. What, if any future reduced opportunities for work are part of the job market at large, and certainly the job market in filmmaking. I may be the the shining star at my place of work but if I absolutely screw up an account because of my own failure, I’m not guaranteed the opportunity to do it again, am I? If an account underperforms because of factors outside of my control, then that is taken into account. Film studios usually don’t have all their eggs in one basket, and if they do, it’s a bad business plan and they deserve to go under. We have to stop constructing illusory reasons to feel bad for taking an ethical stance.
