Suppose you didn’t know the history of a particular artist as you walk through an art museum, and you found a piece that you absolutely loved.

Then days, weeks, or months later you found out it was painted by a pedophile. Or a murder. Or an atheist. Or whatever thing really bothers you.

If you all of a sudden HATE the piece you previously loved, that is a you problem. You must be able to separate the artist from the person.

It certainly does not mean that the artist in question should not be despised, prosecuted or whatever else.
