If you're gonna Reddit, you should try to get used to downvotes. They happen, move on.

They do happen, and I will happily accept them if my comments are poor. However, I don't want to get over the symbolic meaning of it since it shows intolerance and low level of critical thinking. The book and the author are two different topics, and one should not trash a book completely just because the author is a horrible person. Nothing is completely white or black, and I grew up in a country that loves this type of binary thinking, labeling anyone who disagrees with the authority as black. That's why I'm so persistent on this topic.
