You really think that, though? When OSC has basically fallen off the grid and no one outside of a very small portion of fandom for just one of the many books and series that he wrote even talks about him anymore? When all talks of an Ender's Game series have died and the only thing that was ever released outside the books themselves was one poorly made and poorly received movie? If "people are able to separate the work from him" it's because they only remember one book he wrote in the 80s and he's otherwise completely fallen off the grid unless you go looking for him. And even that is a stretch unless you think that Orson Scott Card hates making money so much that he refuses to let Netflix or Amazon Prime touch Ender's Game, Alvin Maker, or any of the SF, fantasy or horror standalone books he was churning out in the 90s and early aughts (the standalones were all pretty shitty, but are also the exact kind of shitty that Prime and Netflix have cornered the market on promoting). OSC isn't getting new fans, and his old fans are either outgrowing him or are the kind of sad 40+ year olds who still relate really hard to Ender Wiggins, and at least part of that is due to his terrible views making it pretty damn hard to ignore the underlying streak of hard-right Mormon creepiness in everything he writes.
