Good call picking up on and posting about this, W I Z A R D M A S T E R I Z A R D M A S T E R I see that it's true, very sadly. :/ https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/feb/18/roald-dahl-books-rewritten-to-remove-language-deemed-offensive gently caress all the politically correct, excusers of cancel culture and deniers of its existence HARD, in the rear end, with a HUGE traditionally manly COCK. May they all either suffer the typical fate of villains in Dahl's works, or realise the error of their ways and stop the bullshit bowdlerizing censorship and banning of non-PC artworks that makes the Left look like loving Newspeak morons (we ain't all that way ).

Like I don't know why you would want to make changes to his sandwhiches, most of them would of been eaten like within minutes of him making them. Any that weren't would be super moldy now. Dunno, people are weird I guess. I wouldn't worry about.

Let's rewrite some Lovecraft while we're at it!Lovecraft posted:New kinds of faces appeared in the Street, swarthy, sinister faces with furtive eyes and odd features, whose owners spoke unfamiliar words and placed signs in known and unknown characters upon most of the musty houses.

I think you can both not edit media because the sensibility they were written in is no longer suitable for modern consumption, and simply not condone the purchase or consumption of that media because of the same reasons. I don't really think it's necessary to edit media when there is so much other media that can satisfy someone's requirements. Also because if we're editing media for things that are an affront to our tastes I'm gonna want a wholesale ban on the Sonic franchise and the things it has resulted in before some nerd books for lovely kids tbh.

It's amazing that despite writing her with such contempt, Rowling is basically Aunt Petunia - a nasty middle class curtain twitcher who can't stand the idea of those people doing that sort of thing gosh this used to be a decent neighborhood

Genesplicer posted:When he was a kid, my dad had a copy of Dahl's book, "The Gremlins". He loved the story, about a WWII pilot and the gremlins who constantly work to damage planes, and later became a pilot himself. (He got his private pilot's license before his driver's license, and later became a pilot for the Air Force.) thank u for choosing to share that

Ralph Hurley posted:I was reading Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator to my kid a few years ago and kinda gave up because there was a part early on with a bunch of racist Chinese caricatures and all the lame rear end jokes that go along with making fun of Chinese names. I read it as a kid and didn’t remember any of that. If someone had edited that poo poo out at some point I would never have known it was missing and it would probably be a better book. wow look at this Lebron-esque BOWING down to china
