I intentionally don't want to know _anything_ about the personal lives of artists I like, be they musicians, comic book artists or book authors. It's a lot easier to separate the art and artist if you don't dig into the artist's fandom at all.

I didn't figure out that Tracy Hickman of Dragonlance fame was a man until the 2010s - and I read the books in the late 80's / early 90's. Teenage me happily thought that the books were written by two women and didn't think past it.

Should we or is it even possible? I was a big fan of Kanye West and now when hours music comes on my feed a find I suddenly don’t enjoy it after all his latest rantings. I get the visceral feeling that I don’t want to support him even by listening to him, so I can’t enjoy it the way I used to.

I think we should always separate the art from the artist.

The main problem I have with Dilbert's comics is that they are nowhere near as great as they were 10, or even 20 years ago.
