Specifically Marilyn Manson and Kanye West. Am I overthinking this?
Is it possible to listen to artists who are terrible people without feeling guilty?

It depends, mostly on yourself and how you feel about it. Most artists have shown some form of shitty behaviour - Dave Grohl cheated on his wife for example. Is that enough to stop listening to his music? Probably not. Kanye West released a song called "Heil Hitler"...is that enough? Probably, but does that also count for his older songs? You decide. No one else can.
