For example, I personally can’t listen to Guns and Roses without immediately thinking “that Axl sure is an asshole”, and that sours the entire experience.

Depends, tbh. Most people’s actions aren’t an infallible series of conditional statements and will make concessions for this on a case-by-case basis (usually if the shitty actions came before or after they fell in love with the music).
Example: I never liked XXXTentacion’s music and never will once I found about him being a woman beater, but I grew up listening to Burzum and can’t imagine myself ever not throwing on Filosefum once in a while, dispite the fact that Varg might be the shittiest person in music, period.
Fair. I used to be pretty into black metal in my teens, but after realizing that you need to filter out like 90% of the bands just to avoid supporting literal nazis, I just couldn’t anymore.
That’s fair. FWIW, I download like 90% of my music and Varg doesn’t tour, so there’s not any real support going from me to him
