I understand where you're coming from, honest. Personally, the way I deal with it is not financially supporting anyone I find personally an awful person. I'll still watch a Roman Polanski film, but won't pay for it, if it makes sense. And of course there are those where I refuse point blank to even aknowledge (Mel Gibson, anyone), because I can only see the person and not, say, the role they're playing.
With Jackson, I haven't been a fan of his later years, but I can't discount the massive impact he had on music, the shattering of the racial barriers when he first came out or the work of little Michael of the Jackson 5, before any of the weirdness and scandals.
Thank you! And heh, I like that theory, it makes me feel less decrepit.
