If you only chose to partake of art, music, and literature created by morally upstanding persons, you’d quickly come to the end of what’s available. Museums would empty out. Concert halls would fall silent. Bookstores would have to be repurposed as yoga studios, and movie theaters as hipster churches. The unfortunate truth is that bad, or at least deeply flawed, people often make the best art. -- Rod Dreher

 While this is true, we didn't used to give their opinions much authority over our lives either.  The art stood on its own merit and we tended to ignore the creators.

Now that we worship these creators, we want them to be worthy of it.
