I made it a policy starting when I was in college to never read non technical interviews or the like. Even so every now and then I accidentally find out that some creator has personal beliefs that I find abhorrent and it just ends up interfering with the experience of their work for me.
On the flip side of this, I completely firewall off the names I use for my own creative works in various media because by some views I’m an asshole as well. I dont want anyone to like/dislike my work for my opinions, let em like it or not for what it is/what they had for lunch that day/if they had a fight with their lover/whatever.
