It's more important that the artist should respect their audience, isn't it?
Which bit of the audience, though? You can't please everyone, as this very topic proves, so I figure the artist may as well just stick with their vision. Because as soon as they change it to suit one person's taste and not offend someone else, it may no longer suit anyone's taste and be so bland as to not be worth bothering with.
I agree that they may want to reconsider something that might be generally considered to be very offensive, but there's nothing about Divinity that fits that description.
