I can separate the art from the artist, no problem at all. Artists are delivering a service after all, just like any other profession. Do you ask the plumber for his life story before allowing him to fix the pipes? And if you found out after he left that he was a criminal in his former life, would the plumbing suddenly cease to work? Would you rip the pipes out in anger?

Same applies to entertainment. Unless the director is actively spouting some disagreeable propaganda, then it's just a piece of fictional entertainment that was probably written by someone else anyway and so isn't a creation of the director alone. It's the writer who has the initial creative vision.
