No.
Speaking as an artist and a writer myself, I put my entire heart and soul into my work, especially the characters I make and the setting I put out. My work is inseparable from my mind.
You can say that the quality of the work is good, that they’re skillful in their craft. That’s a very different thing from saying that its content, its heart and soul, is something that stirs you. That the story resonates with you, makes you want to embrace the artist’s ideals and understand their view.
Do not separate art from artists. Describing their skill and making excuses for their broken moral compass are two VERY different things.
