"you don't have to think the "right" way the first time."

Part of it is just how horrified I am now of how much I LOVED that book. I adored it wholeheartedly. And I was so proud of reading it and expanding my horizons (haha what a joke). It was literally my favorite book for over a year.

There's nothing wrong with it being your favorite book, though? I mean, it is what it is, and frankly I think at its heart it's about a woman, how her circumstances change and she's forced to adapt, and a love story. I mean it's essentially from her perspective so it's not really a terrible thing that it takes a sympathetic or pro-South stance.

I mean if you're using it to claim the South was awesome and the North sucked and slavery was cool, yeah, that's problematic. But this book is considered a classic and its essentially historical fiction, right? Anyway we're not really talking about Birth of a Nation or something here, of course it's got problems but I hardly think anyone who isn't a SJW is going to be offended if you said you liked the book.

Okay, so now you understand how kids can fall into horrible ideas, and you know how to get out of those horrible ideas. You've got inside understanding, which I'm sure leads to greater empathy. There's nothing wrong with understanding a racist - it's a good thing!

Look, everyone makes stupid mistakes as a kid. Look at how many teenagers have warped ideas about relationships. That doesn't mean they shouldn't have access to romance novels. It means they should be given education and a reasonable amout of forgiveness while they grow up.

So what? I'm not trying to be mean here, but why do you think this is something that can be (or should be) prevented? People don't make smart choices all their lives, it's how we learn. Frankly, it'd be weird if you read all the "right" books and had all the "right" opinions about them from childhood onward, because very few people do that unless they don't read much. The same goes for all media people consume. Aren't there cartoons or TV shows you watched as a kid but find absolutely dull or awful now? There probably are, because it happens to us all. I think you're placing way too much significance on your misplaced embarrassment at finding out that something you once liked isn't that good. It's really not a big deal.

You also seem to have a really simplistic view of literature. Gone With the Wind isn't a bad or evil book because it contains a slanted view of the Civil War or slavery. Liking it doesn't make a person bad or evil, either. The world and the media we consume is a lot more complicated than being able to pigeonhole everything into "good" or "bad" categories.
