Analysis:
Guess there's a lot of mixed feelings out there. I actually saw a similar vote on a more popular site after I'd set this question. They'd worded the options differently, but the intent was essentially the same. I think there's probably many loyal fans that ignore what he became at the end. And then there's probably many other people who can't look past the things he did at the end. Seems the vote here was that the things he did at the end overrule anything he did earlier on in his career, so that's how we'll call it - vote goes to “pervert”
Guess there's a message there - if you get famous, don't forget that you still shouldn't molest kids. Or hang them off balconies upside down. Or try to change your skin color. Or .... the list goes on. Guess the result of the vote makes sense.
