i think you should be allowed to cite scholars who are bad people but only if you put the word (oof) or (yikes) after their name

like Parker (yikes, 1989) or Obbink (big oof, 2007)

Freud (derogatory, 1923)

#reminds me of the time a former grad student from my dept cited the unabomber in a math paper with the footnote ‘better known for other work‘ @sierpinskis-assket
