Dear  +sergius,
 
Your underlying question is a valid one.  A book for you to read,
if you're interested in this sort of moral complication in the
reception works of art are given, would be
 
_Transparent Things_ by Vladimir Nabokov
 
in which, at one point, Nabokov's narrator offers an assimilation
of Wittgenstein: "good philosopher, bad man"  -- or words to that
effect.
