Reverence for good art is no excuse of ignorance of the dogshit permanently associated with the genre.

    I mean, this kind of argument is a bit stupid. Are we supposed to not recommend any books because garbage like Mein Kampf exists (and is infact still printed today)? That's some certified Grade A trash that is permanently associated with books (or more specifically, the book genre Autobiography or Philosophy).

    Mein Kampf is a book in a WWII historical autobiography genre, and I can tell you with extreme confidence that enthusiests of that genre are reluctant to say so on the first date exactly because of the Mein Kampf association.
