This is something I believe, though I would take out "should" and replace it with "can". Because it's entirely up to the fan and how what the artist did affects that individual. No one should be told they should separate the art from the artist, but at the same time, no one should be told they can't separate the art from the artist.
I found out this year that my favorite musician, Aaron Lewis, is a MAGA guy who told a Spanish speaking crowd they "should speak American". The more I find out about his personal beliefs, the less I like him, but his music is no less influential and I can separate him from it.
Brett Favre is my childhood icon. I once sat in his locker and it is one of my favorite memories growing up. I watched the man play football for nearly two decades. He also sent an unsolicited ****pic to a coworker while his wife was fighting breast cancer. That's reprehensible, but I didn't burn my Favre jersey over it. I worshiped his football ability, not his ability to be a decent husband.
The whole Kenshin thing is something I'm struggling with. The man who created Kenshin and profits off of every single Kenshin-related media or memorabilia created was convicted of owning large amounts of underage nude photos. He paid his fine as Japan's law requires and apologized, but he's still actively profiting off of the new Kenshin movies I plan to watch, the Kenshin chararcters I wanted to play in Jump Force, and the new Kenshin manga I really want to purchase if it's translated. But... I don't know if I can. Or should. I have complex feelings on the issue.

Man how the **** did he go from this to "they're the ones using the wrong pronouns"? I feel like his ****ty secluded lifestyle that is the result of him never having to worry about making money has actually driven him insane.

I don't play Minecraft. Playing minecraft is for babies.
And for the letsplayers I follow because when they do it, it's comedy and I can enjoy comedy
Edit: this is joke, Just to be safe

Oh, believe, me, I know how it feels to play Minecraft on a potato.
Granted, I don't have that potato computer anymore, but still...

He strikes me as someone who just couldn't cope with the absolute phenomenon his game had become with him at the helm. I remember him always talking about he could never get into a relationship because he thought people were only dating him for the money, and like you said his own seclusion made it worse.

Vitriol towards art solely because of the personal views the creator is unnecessary.
Obviously it's a personal decision, but you can like something without endorsing the author.

PS. Plus getting angry over every artist that doesn't share/opposes your view is just needless personal stress.
Most famous people aren't great people, and putting them on a pedestal of any kind is just asking for disappointment.

I still don't want anything related to this trash in Smash. I don't think it's a worthy addition. Why is that so hard to accept?
I hate Minecraft. I don't want it. To me, it is worthless and a waste of time.

If your gonna make the claim that it is trash at least give us some evidence to back up your opinion.

In some cases (like some Lovecraft stories) then it can't be separated due to it being clear that the themes of the story exist because of the views.
Also Lovecraft was so racist he named his ****ing cat the N word
Mine has been Toon Link since 2013. I forgot the three questions I need to get into my account, so i'm stuck with that skin. Thankfully it still lets me play the game

I already said my opinion regarding the game. To me, it is trash. I don't like it.
Opinion does not need evidence to support it.

Evidence isn't really the right word.
I mean why do you not like it? It seems to just be mindless hate at this point.

Yeah, the dude was SUPER xenophobic and racist. But he's also a dead man who wrote ground-breaking sci-fi/horror that, when viewed through a proper historic lens, is quite fascinating even today.

I thought that was already the case
