"Absurd censorship:" Changes to Roald Dahl's books spark criticism

[Hugh_Lebowski]

47. You make some good points

For the record I can come down on a particular side of an issue while still admitting there are counter-arguments with merit

Edit: read the article you posted, removed that bit.

Also, illustrations are different than text, and removing/replacing outdated racial stereotypes in illustrations that actually serve little purpose in the context of the story is different than adding post ex facto sections of text for the purpose of political correctness down to the finest detail, like the bit about the wigs.

Also Dahl changing his work himself is still different than the estate doing it, artistically-speaking, in my mind.

So while I get your points, and under certain circumstances I'm fine with it, this particular case rubs me the wrong way IIF this new version is meant to be the universal (i.e. not just for young readers in schools) version.
