If you like the story, you don't need to second guess that or overthink the melodrama surrounding its productions and the personalities of figures involved therein. There are maybe notable modern exceptions to this like, "Don't support things that directly fund the oppression of trans people", with the Harry Potter franchise. If people say they don't like the story, you don't have to take what they say seriously, because you know best what your own tastes and preferences are, right? People complain about Act 6 all the time, but Act 6 is one of my favorite things ever.

And I mean, this is the most fucking annoying cliche of all time that you've probably heard a million times before, but art really is separate from the artist, and your experience of it matters way more than all of the gossip and conflict surrounding its production.
