I don't give them a pass - they're still assholes, and I avoid contributing to their wealth wherever I can (aarrrrgggghhhh). That doesn't mean the works they contribute to aren't good simply because the actor is a shitty person IRL. There are usually plenty of other decent people involved, as well, so even when I do wind up paying to see something I try to think of it as contributing more to those people.

Right there with ya, but it's still copium. 🥲

That's fair. Exceedingly few things in this life are ever at their ideal state.
