>>109036349Bearing in mind that everything depends on the legal jurisdiction, the legal framework of "moral rights of the artist" is probably an even stronger argument.
Especially since most jurisdictions will only allow the artist to waive their moral rights if done explicitly in a contract, and a few jurisdictions say it is impossible for an artist to waive their moral rights.
Moral rights include things like, "if the work has a signature or credits, those cannot be removed from the work or its context," "if a work is published anonymously, the artist has a right to remain anonymous or revoke the anonymity at solely their discretion," or, "rights to display the work do not include making modifications to the work that could be imputed back to the original artist," (e.g. putting a bottle of coke into a picture).
The third one is where most arguments over the politics of the end user comes up. Musicians commonly use moral rights to argument that playing their music at a political rally is imputing the endorsement of musician, where no such endorsement exists. Or in the case of a model, using a model as a sockpuppet to advocate for certain political views could irrevocably modify the "moral reputation" of the work and the author.
But, again, as in everything legal related, it is all 100% dependent on the legal jurisdiction(s) involved.
