This one is topical, due to the sexual abuse scandals in Hollywood and the drama about confirmed pedophile Nobuhiro Watsuki.
Let´s say that a beloved creator of yours (it can apply to any medium) is suddenly facing prison charges, committed a very serious crime or started to crusade against a specific group of people. How will you treat his or hers fictional work going forward?
The fault in our StarsDeath of the Author applies, so i don´t care
All works are forever tainted
Only the new work will be tainted
Only works i can connect to the crime are tainted
Only the creators works are tainted, spin-offs or adaptations aren´t
It depend on the crime
I will rethink my position once the author paid his due
