For me, the coffee-table-vomit in this analogy is the hurt and anger that people who have historically been victimised by the KKK felt when AP basically stated (ironically and for LOLs, it's true) that funding that hateful organisation was on the same moral level as putting product placement in a music video. It's not a tangible harm, and it's certainly not on the same level as *actually* giving money to the KKK, but it still had a negative impact on people who were previously fans of her work (as demonstrated by lots of first-hand testimonies in the link that kaberett provides above).
