I have the Dangerous album from Michael Jackson, shelved for decades without listening, for pretty much the same reason :(

Yeah... It sucks. I have some Marion Zimmer-Bradleys books in the shelf that have been unread for years because I learned of the author's pedophilia when I was in the middle of that series. Really soured the whole thing. At least with Eddings they were caught and punished and didn't do evil shit for decades afterwards, so you can keep up some hope they became better people in the end...

I knew about the allegations against MZB, luckily I never got into her books, so it's not a big loss for me - but just now I got curious and did some reading - Is this article legitimately by MZB's daughter? https://thembeforeus.com/moira-greyland-i-was-born-into-a-family-of-famous-gay-pagan-authors-in-the-late-sixties/

That's a sad outcome - of course it is understandable that as a traumatized victim she has a risk to have a warped vision of reality - but holy cow, to blame homosexuality as the root of the problem, that's losing the plot entirely.

Yikes! That's even worse than what I knew about the whole ordeal. What a sad outcome indeed... :(
