I hate it because it was never meant to be published, it was an early first draft of To Kill A Mockingbird that was COMPLETELY re-written and drastically changed. It's a fine story as it is, but it has nothing to do with what Lee intended to have published.

Also, what's wrong with disliking it because of what it did to Atticus's character? There's nothing wrong with writing a story about a character who is great in one context but isn't a shining beacon of light in another, but...we have a million stories like that? Aren't we allowed to have even ONE character in all of fiction who is just flat-out a great role-model-worthy admirable person? Not even ONE???

And don't fucking tell me there aren't any amazing people who wasn't racist in the '30s and continued to be not-racist in the '50s. Amazing people exist. They're rare but they exist. To everyone who thinks a story about a person who seems amazing, is amazing, and continues to be amazing is "unrealistic" - amazing people exist, get the fuck over it, and take your pathetic insecure sour grapes with you.
