    I was too young and innocent to understand the evils of this world when I fell in love with the books. They were my escape in otherwise a shit childhood. I hate the author, but I cannot hate the stories that made my childhood better.

      I mean I loved Orson Scott Card’s book Ender’s Game and the get turned out to be a right-wing loon. It doesn’t change how I feel about the book.

      You’re allowed to look back fondly while being aware of the problems. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Life is full of nuance.

      Similarly, I enjoyed the movies even though the books weren’t my personal style. A whole lot of people were a part of that who don’t share any of her views or knew the type of person she was at the time.
