Will Augustus Gloop have managed to stay skinny while gorging on chocolate? The fact that some people are fat seems a far less dangerous life lesson for children than this one.
This is a great example of going too far left imo, it’s not nearly as damning to our society as most people make it but it’s very needless.
It will only make me go out of my way to get older editions.
Erasing the *no no words will only handicap creative freedom going forward.
Hell, I’m here for people using the hard-R in literature if it’s in a meaningful or contextual way (historical fiction or of course realistic depiction of racism)

The Oompa Loompas will also be changed to tall white men with blonde hair and blue eyes.

I hate that this is happening. It’s SO wrong!
But then….. I think about how valuable those original books will be! 🙂

The Oompa Loompas were already changed, but we don’t talk about that

We should be extra progressive and get together to burn all the older copies too!

Meh. I’m fat. It’s never bothered me. Could be because I’m also brilliant, witty, wise, handsome, and incredibly humble.
