the literary equivalent of:
That was the sanitisation of Roald Dahl’s books, which already happened and was likely celebrated on Lemmy.
Could you maybe give some links for the ones who didn’t get what you’re writing about, like I did?
Yeah, those edits were idiotic, all right, thanks for sharing
But I was more keen to see who celebrated those. Although, I am sure such people probably exist not only in the Dahl Estate
It was possibly on Reddit, but you can imagine the rhetoric. I actually do think it was on Lemmy. I believe I said that the Oompa-Loompas being literal African Pygmies was a bit much, and could remember feeling that way even as a young child. I think even Mr Dahl himself might have come to the same conclusion in later life.
This is okay for people to change their views, I think it’s better to add author’s or editor’s commentary in such a case, not censor the shit out of the book
