People are complex though. People can have noble aspirations and dreams and treat people in their lives horribly. There are people out there who's lives were drastically improved by art from people who did evil things. Art can come from the best or worst in people, we're not just good or evil.

Also, and it pains me a little bit that I have point this out again, but “being an arsehole” is a different kettle of fish than being a serial rapist.
The fact that I may have derived something good from something which is bad at its core is a function of my own intentions and filters.
Wouldn't the consumption of art with an 'evil' essence speak negatively on yourself whether you were aware or not?
It's okay to just say his actions ruined his work for you. It ain't that deep.
If you want to judge me for that, that's your silly little hill to die on.
