Can’t say “queer” anymore! Authoritarians at Puffin just made hundreds of changes to Roald Dahl’s books. Here are some examples.

This abomination underscores the importance of physical printed books.

Fifteen or so years ago, some publisher tried to publish a bowdlerized edition of the Chronicles of Narnia, too.

What is wrong with these people? They’re not just mildly altering the working to protect the sensibilities of certain groups. They’re engaging in wholesale mangling!

So, did the people at Puffin use speakwrites to effect these changes, with the original pages going down to the great furnaces in the basement of Minitrue?

The Chronicles were based on Christianity. I’m sure Satan appreciated the rewrite attempt.

Shouldn’t these zealots be liable for something? For butchering copyrighted material or some such...

“What about faggot?”

.

How about d**** s*****?

Or pole puffer?

Butt banger?

This could go on for awhile, depending on how much “Authoritarians” pizz off normal people.
