That's simple.
Don't do anything to feel guilty about.
You don't have to be a crusader. Small actions build up. A little bit here. A little bit there.
Even just spreading awareness helps.
This thread, for example. :)

Imagine black rights in the USA if more white people went 'eh, I don't want to get involved'. You'd have even worse slavery in the USA than is already there.

People don't like being pressured.
However, again, inaction is benefiting the oppressors. So, you have a choice. Don't act, and see how it plays out, and hope for the best. Or act, and give more power to the oppressed.

Have you seen the news in the last three years?
Look at the USA, and the rights being taken away from people.
Or Israel removing rights from Israeli-Palestinians.
Or Russia removing the rights to free press, freedom of speech, and the LGBT community.
"You aren't us. You shouldn't exist."

Nobody's forcing you to.
However, your inaction makes it easier for the oppressor to act, since there's less resistance.
Inaction is a tool given to the enemy.

Yes.
But, to give an extreme example.
If one side says 'we want to be left in peace', and the other side says 'we want to remove them from society', if you're neutral, you're not protecting the people who want to be left in peace. In other words: Your inaction serves the hostile element.

Yes, that is your view, and you're entitled to it.
But considering the accusations, we'll accept the victims until evidence to the contrary is given. And ... that doesn't look like it's coming. At all.

Of course. But, again, 'believe the victim'. Because if you're neutral, you are on the side of the aggressor.

Of course. Nothing is absolute.

Remember the #metoo movement?
You believe the victim, until evidence points otherwise.
<-- victim of three sexual assaults in the space of 8 years. All by friends.

Because if you are a fan of the work, you're typically a fan of the creator. If the creator turns out to be ... let's be kind ... 'problematic', then it becomes a bit of a mess.
Especially if the creator is knowingly harming others. Why support them?

One is an accident.
Two is coincidence.
Three is a pattern.
There has been enough information to consider it a pattern, and he hasn't really pushed hard to deny the accusations, either.
Not as bad as Cosby, though. Which sucks, we liked the Cosby show.

No argument here.
What the creator does later, however, can taint such positive memories. Example: Neil Gaiman.

That it had a positive influence on people isn't a bad thing.
That such an impact is tainted by the author's views is, and by no fault of the fan.

Sorry to hear that. HP came out when we were already in our late 20s / early 30s, so it's impact on us wasn't as big. But not everyone was as fortunate.
