Haha, man, I had strawberry cupcakes yesterday, it's a good thing I don't really mind the red beetle thing...

But yeah, I can see where you're coming from. I've been considering starting a blog and YouTube channel lately, and I doubt it'll get much attention, but I have been doing a lot of thinking about what I'm comfortable with people knowing about my personal life on the odd chance that somehow it happens and I actually get a following. So it's something that's been on my mind a lot? On one hand, yeah, if you're someone that can't stand someone's work if you know too much about them personally, it's probably better if you avoid them on social media and the like.

On the other hand...while "well, you asked" is maybe a valid response, I think "well, you answered" might be, too? Just because fans want to know about personal details doesn't mean you have to give it to them. And I can also see why people would find it upsetting if someone whose work they enjoyed ended up having opinions they found morally repugnant. Not necessarily the times that someone slips up and says something they shouldn't have (but recognizes it and apologizes for it and doesn't happen again) or someone who used to have certain opinions or parroted something because of their parents but has changed their mind (like I think it was with JO and the accusations of her being homophobic? or, at the very least, the difference between my opinion on some things as a teen and my opinion now). But when someone constantly and unapologetically voices beliefs that you find offensive...I can see why people might not want to follow their work anymore. (I think Nostalgia Chick even talked about this recently concerning Orson Scot Card in a video?)

I'm not sure if people on f!s are necessarily looking for sympathy, either, since us commenters aren't always a supportive bunch. Sometimes they might just want to get it out and this is a good place to let out a secret about a fandom because it's...well...fandom!secrets.

tl;dr--I can see both sides of the issue--I can completely understand why it'd be frustrating or upsetting to have something you mentioned constantly brought up over and over again when it should be laid to rest, but I can also understand why people might get disappointed if they look up a favorite producer and end up being really disappointed.
