I do agree with separating the artist from the art, but I also understand choosing to not support people whose values you disagree with. Because your money will end up being used to support those values.
So yes, I won't say that I don't like certain songs/books/paintings/etc. because of the artist, but I can refuse to pay for them or other related merchandise.
That's fair. You can like something but refuse to support it.
I'm mainly taking issue with anyone who says that if you don't like the artist, you can't appreciate the art. I've heard it a few times (or some variation of it), and IMO, that's far too common already.
