Is it Acceptable to Listen to the Music of Questionable Artists?

Let's take Chris Brown as an example. He is a proven abuser with a considerable following. Should people stop listening to and buying his music so as to not support him in any way, as they might consider him a bad person? Or is it possible to like and enjoy his music without caring about him as a person?

Yes, if I like their music

There is a difference between liking Chris Brown's music and liking Chris Brown. Both are pretty horrible, but liking his music is totally fine with me. If you like him as a person, that's a different case....

Exactly, music should be able to surpass whatever the artist thinks, the best exemple would be Kanye West, amazing artist, creates great music, you look at him as a human being, not so much

I personally think that until the questionable things or subjects aren't reflected in the song/music it is absolutely fine to listen to their music. Also, questionable is an objective word that can have different meanings if you ask different people. Although there is a norm for behavior in society, any artist can be portrayed as questionable. You may think that a questionable artist is someone with long hair that plays guitar and smokes, you can think of someone that is a book worm and that doesn't speak to anyone, it could be someone that likes to go into museums, we could think of a person that thinks that he can fly or a person that likes to watch the flames in a fire pit. That said, what does questionable even signify/symbolize.

No, I feel that such a repulsive reprobate would interpret his continuing success as a public endorsement of his barbaric behaviour and engage in even worse outrageous acts of violence.
