It's not an all-or-nothing, binary affair. The art reveals parts of the artist at different times, not necessarily their entirety (which you can enjoy and dislike separately), and I can also enjoy it without taking the content seriously, just the nonverbal auditory and the visual but meaningless parts of them.
I'm no Christian nor an antisemite but Yeezus and TLOP haven't been ruined for me, even if you can feel Kanye's confidence/arrogance in the lyrics at times (to which I relate to a certain degree). I'm not an oversexual black lady obsessed with white peen but Azealia Banks has been on my playlist since the mid 10s. But I like the energy and melodies, and I'm amazed by the lyricism, even if I don't agree nor relate. Same goes for Doja, who I've been listening to since her 'silly' "uWu" days. Sometimes, it's enjoyable BECAUSE it's ridiculous and I don't agree with it one bit. I'm no polygamist/sex pest but both my wife and I enjoy "Ain't No Fun". ๐คท๐
