It's up to you whether or not it's important. I see your point on whether or not it's possible, and I'm inclined to agree with you.
I'm glad that pretty much all of the artists I enjoy didn't do anything like drug and rape women or come out in favor of oppressive nonsense (as far as we know.)
It doesn't surprise me that the businessmen posing as artists routinely end up being pieces of shit. It's always good for a laugh when the morons who liked their art find out for themselves.
