From a personal standpoint, I can't "not" be affected by these types of accusations. It's one thing to have different views on sexual behaviors. It's another to ignore legitimate accusations of criminal activity.
I wouldn't watch The Brown's when Deshaun Watson was playing, I was glad when Trevor Bauer was gone from the Indians/Guardians. If even a part of what they were accused of was true, it made it impossible to support them in any way.
That said, I don't go looking for info on authors or artists and their personal lives. But when their behavior is such that it goes public, it's hard to ignore. I don't read Gaiman's books, but if I did, this news would most likely be the end of my supporting him. I just wouldn't be able to compartmentalize.
