Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them? (lemmy.world)

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

I'd almost say it's the opposite... U2 is a decent band, but nothing too special. Bono has a strong reputation as a philanthropist doing good for the worlds charities.

U2 sucks. I said it. Singer of my band in HS tried so hard to turn me.. at least 3 mix tapes and I def found some less popular songs I liked. But I'm just not a fan. I change the station after a dramatic sigh when they come on. They don't rock. I like that Batman twist me bang me something me song. Desire is fun. Sunday Bloody Sunday is emotionally tied to historical events, can't sleep on it. Mysterious Ways is amazing and brings back positive feelings from those days (was it in a mixtape infomercial?). But besides the several songs I like, they suck... Shit.. did I just talk myself out of hating them? Was I just an angsty little shit and South Park nailed the coffin?
