I was a big fan throughout my child and teen years, but seeing her not only descend into bigotry, but use her large platform to push that bigotry really made it hard for me to enjoy HP going forward. I don't blame myself for having enjoyed it in the past, but it puts a significant cloud over the series in my mind into the future; yeah, supporting her is a drop in the bucket, but a small share in the large harm she's seeking to make with her platform is something that very much doesn't appeal to me.
Her actions are much more visible, and much more impactful on the wider world than someone like William Shatner or Chevy Chase apparently being notorious jerks, and have soured me much more on her work than either of them have on theirs. And there are plenty of other things in the world worth enjoying that don't have this kind of shadow cast over them.
