Let me first say that child pornography is a disgusting practice and anyone who obtains some should be ashamed of themselves.

That being said, I would still be sad if Mike Skupin died even though he's a horrible person because he's one of the OG Survivors. I wouldn't be said that Skupin the disgusting human being died but I'd be sad the guy I saw on The Australian Outback died. I think the fans are more sad his character died moreso than the actor dying. To them, he's not a child pornography collector. He's that guy who played a character on the show they liked. I think they're able to separate those two...so what I'm trying to say is that they're saying goodbye to the character and not necessarily Mark Salling.
