The rewriting of Roald Dahl is an act of cultural vandalism
This one is very hard for me. I think about how we look at the things that used to be normal in the past. How the R word was a medical condition, how the N word was a normal thing to call somebody, how a gay man was called the F word. Nobody would bat an eye at these words back then. And yet - we look back on those times with disdain. I can't imagine giving a book to a child that contains those words; and yet maybe back then that was normal?<p>Will people look back on our times with disdain and think how horrible we were for calling each other crazy, mad, fat and ugly? How we made such a big deal about gendering things?<p>Maybe we are "the old men shouting at clouds" (ahem... I mean "old people shouting at clouds" xd)? Maybe we should get with the times? Or is this really all "cancel-culture" and everybody else except us is wrong?<p>Unfortunately, I only have questions and no answers hahah
