Frequently, yes. Theoretically, you can have an artist that is well-behaved and interesting. But we don’t get to make that choice and you can’t custom order creativity to take the good bits and leave the bad bits (although crispr gets better and better).
Especially since if you start blocking out the unsympathetic artists early in their career due to being jerks and criminals and whatnot, this would have prevented many of the great artists.
For example a letter in 1968 shows John Lennon as a wife beater amongst other deplorable things [0]. Stopping him at this point would have deprived the world of many creations.
