To be clear, I made an argument for how someone's artistic output could have a positive effect on an individual. This I believe is true. If you did not know the allegations against someone to be true before you made a connection with their art, then I can imagine how you might defend the contribution of their art. However, I personally, would find it impossible to have a newly positive experience with someone's art, once I learned anything about them that I found abhorrent.

I have it on good authority that the person who took these photographs might be a child rapist.

To be fari about Polanski's output, Rosemary's Baby and The Pianist were amazing. And these are the only films of his I have seen so far

I don't agree that paying money to see a Polanski film is indistinguishable from providing support to him as a human being.

It's not difficult for me to separate the art from the artist, at least in this circumstance.

If your favorite band's lead singer came out in support of lynching black people, would you still buy their album?

I bought a vinyl copy of Filosofem, even though Varg Vikernes is a known racist and murderer. Who he is as an individual doesn't stop me from loving that album, or wanting to own a copy of it.
