No, I didn’t. If “Art becomes its own thing independent of the one who created it and often lives on long after the creator,” then Cosby’s comedy is independent of Cosby-as-rapist. Do you still laugh at his routines? His stage persona wasn’t who he really was as a person, after all.

yes, but in many cases it’s more laughing at what a self-righteous hypocrite he’s been all along. I think John Oliver agrees.

Dude, are you slow or what? Did you not notice that I VERY SPECIFICALLY stated that personal failings of an artist can and often do affect the relationship of a viewer to the art? Did you not comprehend what that means? Or are you being intentionally thick?

Phrasing an insult as a question doesn’t stop it from being an insult. This is an official Warning for personal insults outside of the BBQ Pit.

I’m afraid everyone is still missing the point.
