I think it's hard to appreciate something once I start disrespecting the author. My favourite director, Kusturica, ended up a Putin lackey and since then I've lost the motivation to see his works.
Not that I would condemn anyone else for watching, just that his movies died a bit for me.
I saw a program about an annual furry Convention in Sweden and I remember the guards Saint that this was the most chill gig they had and they were enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and respectfulness of the visitors. Never any hassle from the people on the inside and they were always looking forward to work on it.
