> what is the psychological label for people who do not distinguish artist from art?

There isn't one because you can dislike a person and/or their works for literally any reason you want.

Is there a label for insisting that people put aside their feelings and engage with something because you have deemed their reason for not doing so invalid?

I said nothing about like or dislike.

I only implied that implied psychological traits of a fictional character are not evidence of the same psychological traits in the author. It's merely evidence that the author is capable of observing or imagining such traits in others.

‘Shoulding’?
