I can potentially handle though condemn the rewriting of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and maybe some Dr. Seuss books because I never read them, but this nonsense of using presentism to rewrite everything is just plain bullshit. Back in the sixties I read all of the James Bond novels and enjoyed them all and am not interested in having them rewritten to the standards of some snowflakes.

They have even rewritten Mark Twain replacing nigger with slave and it always reminds me of a D L Hugely stand up special where he says I don’t know about you but I would much rather be called a nigger than a slave because if I’m a nigger I get to go home and do whatever I want but if I’m a slave I got to go home with you and I’m not free.

And this whole nonsense reminds of something from my Harvard time. There was a theater in Cambridge that played recent popular movies and I bought a ticket that basically gave me unlimited access to movies for a month or more and I went frequently and this was back when Stripes and other movies were fairly new and the one that caused controversy was the James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only. And the idiot feminists in the audience would hiss and boo every time James got lucky. You knew what it was about and if that somehow offends you then don’t go and stop trying to ruin the movie for everyone else. You’re just annoying not brave!
