Can you separate the artist as a person from the music?

What happened with Rammstein and Die Antwoord?
Turns out Lindemann is quite rapey, and Die Antwoord had this whole (alleged) sex slavery thing with an Australian rapper.
Seems often they're not just making up their lyrics after all but singing from experience
Die antwoord also adopted, abused and abandoned an ~~albino~~ (Edit: my mistake, he has hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia) child, Tokkie, who spoke out a few years ago. They're truly awful and Tokkie's documentary is worth watching.
Also Marilyn Manson has been evicted from my music library for sexual abuse. I have no interest in supporting known exploiters, and I can't listen to their music without thinking about how awful they are as people. No regrets, there's plenty more musicians out there worth my time.
I have been meaning to remove Marilyn Manson from my playlists and just now did. Thanks for the reminder
