The GM can certainly narrate that the NPC has a reputation as an objectively and expertly competent and gifted performer, a virtuoso in their craft, is well liked and regarded by all, etc, but I don't think that narration should ever contain "you (the PC) are entertained/influenced by their...

The poster to whom I was responding said altruism being a value of good is a "slavery mindset" to which the muscular neutrals are opposed. That's more than just not caring. It's an inversion of morality. It's saying something good is actually bad. This is what evil thinks. I don't think you can...
