The Soapbox : People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
I don't approve of it either, although she's approaching it from a different angle.
Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
well it's more than just fiction. it's material protected by copyright. no one should have the right to alter that! if folks find material offensive they should not read it. if they start reading something and become offended they should opt for new reading material. this rewriting of things we do not like is rather childish IMO.
Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
There you go, being all logical and stuff. You'll confuse people!
I never understood why this was such a difficult concept for people to grasp. If you are offended by something, don't do it. Don't read the book, don't watch the movie, change the channel, alter parental settings at home if you have kids and are concerned about exposure to certain material…
The list goes on. Such a simple solution. 👍

I dunno why you and others get your panties in a bunch over her where she is spreading the message to save the world and she did nothing to you snowflakes.

Which applies to you too.
Don't like the new James Bond or Agatha Christie books coming out?
Don't read 'em!

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
I really don't care.
This is fiction which is what we are talking about and that is OK to change.
There is stuff called, "fan fiction," where they come up with their own ideas from an original story.
Same thing here, kinda.
And we can apply your idea to the altered versions.
Don't like the new James Bond books?
Don't read em!

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
So what is your opinion on rewriting history? The more conservative states seem to be trying that. Mind you… history doesn't hold any copy rights…so I'll be interested in where this goes
Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
A People's History of the United States is a real eye opener compared to the sanitized versions we got in our HS text books.

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
I might be one of the few people at this site that finds Lilith to be far more annoying than she is likable.
And I hate to say this Warren. But she’s right in this case. It won’t stop here. The censorship police will just keep going until they’ve completely sanitized the country of anything that can possibly offend anyone out there. But not just anyone. Just the left’s sacred cows. I’m sure that anything derogatory about rednecks, Christians, etc (i.e. Anything that’s perceived as “rightwing”) will still be allowed, and even encouraged.

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
I'm a little uninformed about this issue. Are the older editions banned? Is it going against any authors' wishes? If not, it's lame 4o santize things, but calling it censorship is a little dramatic. It's more more censorship or against free speech than TV edits of films. In other words, lame, but not a threat to our freedoms.

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
The publisher is putting out both the orig. and updated versions of the Roald Dahal books.
The authors they are doing this to are dead.
Saying it is like TV edits to films is a good example.
No one goes apeshit over that.
So they should not over this.

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
In that case, they're just giving options, and people really are blowing it out of proportion.
I'm skeptical anytime people bring up censorship and free speech these days because it's often not about either.

You say this, until your favorite literary characters are replaced by carnivorous trannies. You'll stroke out then.
Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
Isn't this just for ebooks or something? Are older editions still available?
Like I said, this seems lame, but nothing serious. Kind of like how Walmart carried only the edited CD's of albums that had the parental advisory sticker. Now everyone steals music, and it's all better now.

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
My comment was directed at Warren's outrage. It's fully grounded in personal disdain.
As to your comment, to me this demonstrates a lack of creativity. I agree with Lil - don't like it? Don't read it. Go read or produce what you like. There's plenty of books out there I think suck and are offensive to me but I'd never ask, let alone demand, the author to change it, bookstores not sell it, public libraries not stock it (this does not include school libraries.)
Radio/Record edits are different, imo. In fact, they are genius because they are the artists tweaking their product to increase sales. From what I gather here, it's not the artist adjusting the product.

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
You didn't really answer what I asked lol. Then again, I can do my own research.
I tend to buy or take (when the library used to have a room full of books you could take permanently) used old books, so I don't really pay attention to new editions or ebooks.

I didn't read the article or know much about the topic beyond it's a common theme among the thinnest skinned members of Western society.
Maybe its exclusive to what you said. I generally don't read e-books either. Its not the same as holding a proper book. Same with the newspaper

Re: People, like Lilith, who complain about this need to get over it
I see all political parties blowing shit out of proportion, and sometimes they blow shit out of proportion about shit that's being blown out of proportion lol.
I guess it's not something I'm too invested in because I have the old editions of any old books I want. Pretty sure there are also a lot of uncensored free books on sites like Guttenberg, but I was a little curious.

You will get no argument from me that both parties blow things about of proportion in order to "win the argument."

They are changing words in James Bond, Roald Dahl and now Agatha Christie books!
Big deal.
It is just fiction.
Get over it.
And if it really bothers you so much then do something.
Start a movement or at least write a letter to the publisher.
Instead if you just sit there and talk the talk and don't walk the walk, shut the fuck up.
