Yes. I'd just guess that the answer I interpret from those questions and what you interpret are different in a few ways. Understanding insensitivities that were baked into older media is valuable, and why I try to understand people's criticism better. But just like Bill Gates giving to charity doesn't make him a good person, having biases show up in a fictional novel doesn't negate the moral lessons and the escapism it can offer. You seem to have a very strong opinion on the topic, and I have learned more from hearing your perspective. Thank you.
