Turns out a person being something you dislike has no direct bearing on the quality of their writing and storytelling. If you can’t appreciate the latter on account of the former, that’s your problem.

It can be more complicated than that (depending on your personal philosophy). Art can be standalone but it can also be tightly interwoven with cultural and political context.

It turns out that this has a direct bearing on my perception of his writing.

For example i don't have to pay for his stories, if the author doesn't like me for the color of my skin or for belonging to people that the author happens to dislike.

I am also allowed to say that these are very objectionable attitudes. And i can also remind other people that these are very objectionable attitudes.

HP Lovecraft was ridiculously racist. Do you perceive his works differently because of that?
