this is how it is for most people, honestly. if someone can separate art from artist, I think that's fine. i have had to do it in my life as well.
i love the ender's game series. but orson scott card is absolute human trash. it doesn't take away from my feelings toward the works, though.
i wish nuance would come back. everything is so black and white now. "you like this artist's work? then you're evil."
that's sadly the world we live in now.
