I don't abstain from a problematic creator's work with the intent of driving them out of business. That's pretty close to the lib notion of voting with your dollar. Not really a solution. But I do tend to stop watching or enjoying something if one of the people involved is terrible. I used to have a sentimental connection to a Kevin Spacey movie, but now I can watch any of his performances because I can't help but to see what he did.
However, I feel that's a personal choice.
I don't try to shame people for enjoying something problematic as long as they don't try to defend the person or deny the problematic elements invented by a creator.
Like you can't help feeling connection to something you like, but if you say you don't care what Woody Allen did, I might think differently of you. The apathy is my problem.
And if you can, don't contribute to one of these creators while they're still alive.
Also, this is a problem that could partially be solved by dissolving intellectual property laws.
for Kevin Spacey, watching the roles where he is evil is almost like perverse voyeurism. House of Cards comes to mind, as well as the mo-cap he did for that Call of Duty game.
