I think there's also the unstated assumption that artists with privately held unsavory beliefs maybe also hold those beliefs loosely, and could feasibly come to recognize those beliefs as such. (Or hypothetically could have, in the case of deceased artists.) Whereas artists who are vocal in their unsavory beliefs tend also to hold them strongly -- to the point of doubling down in the face of consequences as Scott Adams has done. Personally, I have no qualms about moving on from artists whose strongly held personal beliefs unsettle me. There are plenty of other great artists on the world.
