Censorship in the name of inclusivity

[CSGambill]

So, no surprise here... to prevent kids from thinking the wrong things and getting dangerous ideas, instead of banning books or removing them from publication leftists simply change them to conform to their ideology. Let's just call a spade a spade, this is an insidious form of censorship.

Roald Dahl books rewritten to remove language deemed offensive

Augustus Gloop now ‘enormous’ instead of ‘fat’, Mrs Twit no longer ‘ugly’ and Oompa Loompas are gender neutral

I wonder if 'Dick' Tracey is now Richard?

'Injun Jim' is now 'Native American James'?

'Dumbo' is now ???

Superman = Superadrogenoid

It's "Nineteen Eighty-Four." The past is constantly re-written to match the present ideology and political power. Basically memory-holing everything. So, eventually, any of us old farts will have died off and all the young people will have is the swill of the political will of the evil ones. No one is doing anything to stop this. Nothing is being done.

Ten minutes later, still nothing being done to stop it.

Yep, another ten minutes, still not stopped.....

Evidently, no one is tired of this, yet.

Next day, still not stopped....

Taking the white folks out of TV commercials had "ZERO" effect on the products I purchase.
Actually it ads some comedy to the commercials.
"Law's of Nature" took thousands of years to change. Mankind thinks it can change them in one generation... LOL

Welcome to the former Soviet Union, everything is constantly rewritten to reflect the new normal. People are deleted from history and new imaginary people are added into history. Words are added or deleted to reflect the most current group think. Friends and neighbors are compelled to report on you to party overlords to insure compliance with the new standards.

Not quite, but you're on to something..

Dick Tracy, that's ok. They'll likely make him a non-binary drag queen and the "Dick" part will be ironic.

Do you mean Injun Joe? If so, Mark Twain is too problematic to fix. Just keep his books out of classrooms, don't digitize or make them audio books. Let them sink into the memory hole.

Dumbo, well, elephants are a symbol of the Republican Party, so Dumbo is a-ok.

Superman has been revealed to be bisexual.

DC Comics reveal that latest Superman character is bisexual

In an upcoming comic the new reiteration of Superman, Jon Kent, will be pictured in a same-sex kiss.

Baby boomers were the last generation that were allowed to check Mark Twain's books out of their high school library the way they were written.

It always seemed to me that editing a man's book without his permission ought to be a violation of his copyright.

I never really cared , but I defiantly think if someone finds something offensive like a book or a piece of art or a word they someone else should run in a circle around that person with that what ever it is at least till they flip out then do it twice a day if no one is poking a sore spot your not loved or if you loose your shit that easily you deserve that aggravation many time over . It's good to feel uncomfortable helps natural selection along .

After seeing how nice and well-groomed and intelligent and accomplished and cool these TV blacks are, I am tempted to go out and buy a few for myself. Isn't that what they're selling?

I seem to remember another person who was very much into censoring and even burning books he didn't agree with. What was his name again?

 

[Pharmseller]

Guy Montag.

The "woke" left never seems to miss an opportunity to display their breathtaking arrogance. They are just so damned sure of their superiority to everyone who lived before them and anyone who expresses even the slightest disagreement with them now.

Buy any books and films/movies you want in hard copy now, they started gdoing this with movies a while ago and I suspect shit like E-books are an easy target for change.

Truth.

Saw the writing on the wall and got a copy years ago so my kids could enjoy literature as it was intended.

Disney took Songs Of The South away, years ago, in the USA. I found an overseas copy and bought it.

You mean burning books from pedophiles, gays and groomers? I wonder who would have such a degenerate societal rot collection of books and agenda to destroy the traditional nuclear family?

Who could that group of people been?

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust | 6 May 1933: Looting of the Institute of Sexology

On 6 May 1933, the Institute of Sexology, an academic foundation devoted to sexological research and the advocacy of homosexual rights, was broken into and occupied by Nazi-supporting youth. Several days later the entire contents of the library were removed and burned.
