Why? I certainly don't google every author I read, and unless there's a photo of the author included in the book, I generally don't have any idea about their age, race or even gender (after all, they might use a pseudonym). I learn about authors' egregious misdeeds only when I stumble upon someone mentioning them (which doesn't happen often, because I rarely use social media and visit only a couple of forums regularly, so the hullabaloo must be really big for me to know about it. Like it was in MZB's case). Why is it so hard to believe that many people just don't care all that much what sort of person the author is?
