You are a real writer. Thank you for this.
As you have discovered, talented people can also be deeply flawed people.
I’m Jewish and Shakespeare create Fagen—a character that’s a cartoonish anti-Semitic stereotype.
One of my favorite people, a recently deceased physicist Freeman Dyson, disputed the seriousness of our climate problems. Yet he was undeniably a truly kind person and a gentleman. Eric Clapton, who is clearly a talented guitarist and seems like a pleasant person opposes the COVID vaccine.
People are rarely universally good or bad. That said, Kipling—who certainly knew how to write—seems much worse a person than Shakespeare.
My view is that, if you can, enjoy the good any person has done and oppose the bad.
