Hmm, what is the psychological label for people who do not distinguish artist from art?

It's one thing for a biographical analysis to look at the person's real life experiences and relationships.

It's another thing entirely when you start conflating the characters in the fiction with the author's own character...

There isn't one because you can dislike a person and/or their works for literally any reason you want.

Is there a label for insisting that people put aside their feelings and engage with something because you have deemed their reason for not doing so invalid?
