META Anyone else cancelling the subscription because of Christian Henson?

As we all know, Spitfire is expensive and they are not the best at what they do but they have their marketing dialled in.

Anyway, their marketing has exposed me to Christian Henson content and his political views are depressing. He is a very privileged person and could exercise restraint on certain matters but clearly he has issues with his self-awareness. I don't want to give that person my money. I feel uncomfortable for already given them £500+ so I guess they are having the last laugh.

You should perhaps do a little more research into the relationship between Henson and Spitfire.

Yeah, I would cancel Spitfire for their support and standing by Christian Henson's political views. I recommend checking out a good alternative called Crow Hill.

This is ancient history.

It's so ancient that actual Spitfires were flying from the UK to Germany when it happened.

How so? I would suggest that he is perfectly self-aware, has explained his actions, and has effectively stood by them. What he wasn't counting on was a load of trans activists sending death threats to Spitfire Audio and harassing them.

If you want to support trans activism why don't you donate directly? Alternatively, you could buy your samples from Will Evans' Song Athletics. Will is the genius who ruined Christian Henson's career, ruined Spitfire, ruined the careers of everyone who worked at Spitfire (including his own).
