Would you ever stop following a creator (actor, writer, musician, etc.) if their political opinions conflicted with your own?

Yeah. It's their fault they brought in politics

I usually don't follow artists so my opinion of their work isn't tainted by my opinions of their person.

It depends if they put it inside their art. I hate Michael Bay's person and movies for that reason, but I don't hate Katy Perry's songs, since her religious bullshit morale is restrained to her speeches.
Only if they started using their creative works as a propaganda tool.

Probably this. If they ended up putting politics in their works, or vice versa, caved into changing their works because of the politics of others, then yeah, I could see distancing myself from supporting them.

It's interesting you say that, because I'm assuming you're speaking from a liberal (or at least apolitical) point of view. I consider myself a conservative and I never really gave much thought about the creators that share my political POV because they're so few and far between.
It depends on the views they oppose, how strongly they feel, and whether it affects their work. I try to seperate the art from the artist, but anti-1st/2nd amendment shit still kind of gets to me. I stopped listening to a band after they jumped on the "guns are bad and should be banned," bandwagon.

If the product or service from a company is good enough then I am more likely to overlook however dumb the corporate views might be as it does not always reflect the values of those who work at the franchises themselves.
I don't really associate the artists' work with the person themselves. I understand that who they are is part of what makes the art but I let the work live as a creation of it's own. Like when you're related to shitty people and others don't judge you for it n shit
