Getting serious, again.

I was close to submitting a drawing when I noticed none of the user's profiles listed on E621 were alive. I decided to look them up and found a callout post with proof of them being ||openly transphobic, going as far as saying that transphobia isn't real and making suicide jokes involving specifically trans characters. To add insult to injury, they allegedly HAD BEEN friends with trans people before.||
I felt a bad taste in my mouth and decided not to post it.

I also know that ||Shadman|| drew R34 of yоung characters, but ||[they say his art also involved REAL minоrs](https://youtu.be/VTkSnYo0hdk?si=AG2nrh1vFJYPWLQT&t=1639)||, which is inexcusable.

I don't know how you treat art made by such kinds of people, personally I don't wanna knowingly post art made by sociopaths, pеdo/zооphiles and bigots.

. . .

Now that I think about it, the mindset I displayed may be counterproductive from the POV of a site that aims to archive art. You never know whenif someone potentially becomes (or gets outed for past actions finally revealed) as an awful person. The actual drawing I considered posting wouldn't break any rules here. I can suppress my personal (albeit justified) dislike for an artist and share their work regardless, but I would like to hear some thoughts on this.
