You can still enjoy the art, and not support the artist by buying it used (or pirating it).

An artist turning out to be an utter piece of shit is, in my opinion, one of the better reasons for piracy.

I feel like it's especially hard in this case though, like a lot of what his works are doing thematically and the topics they cover comes off as really dark and fucked up in light of what he did.

enjoying the art is still support his image. same goes for people who still support HP despite what rowling as supported and is supporting currently. i watched yt video one time a guest said something about crosby, how supporting/watching his shows or content is still wrong and she went along the lines he mightve gotten his comedic inspiration from SA women. same goes with nutrek and paramount how does someone watch a "progressive show" and support someone like ellison through subscription.
