In almost all cases I can separate the artist from the art, so long as the art doesn’t reflect whatever is wrong with the artist. Was MJ a pedo? Probably. Is Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough a banger? Yep. Does it have anything to do with being a pedo? Nope. Conversely, I couldn’t say the same about, say, an artist commissioned by the Nazis to produce art tied to their propaganda and worldview.

And then there’s what we don’t know about a lot of artists. We have 0 evidence Shakespeare wasn’t a serial killer. Hamlet is still brilliant. If absolute proof that Shakespeare was a serial killer came out tomorrow, Hamlet would still be brilliant, and it’s not pro-serial killer.
