So long as the art isn't explicitly about things i disagree with I can separate the artist from their work.

You need to watch Tar. The classroom scene is essentially this debate
This is also just a new justification in a long line of people justifying the boycott or blackball of an artist. Prior, it was because the artist was a different race, gender, religion etc. Communists in the 50's etc.
We as a people have always associated art with the person and what they represent.
I would also argue that as time moves forward, the less an artist's "person" is judged
