People can do things you deplore, disagree with, think are shameful but again --- not meaning to speak for the OP here but I think this is what is meant --- we're talking about serious crimes and racist-style views; perhaps not even views, as everyone's entitled to theirs. More an overt display of such, like, I dont know, flying swastikas at their gigs or simulating child porn on stage (I'm reaching here: I don't support/know of any artistes who do anything like this)...
Yes,you got my point more or less,for example I have mixed feelings for Jimmy Page,he looks like a cool humble guy and I love Led Zeppelin...but him having sex with a 14 year old when he was almost 30 is quite disturbing.
