Cultural vandals have sought to destroy all beloved works of the past for the sake of political correctness as now the works of the cherished Roald Dahl have been poisoned, removing words such as “queer” and “crazy”, whilst omitting anything that is even slightly “offensive” to women.
The wide range of excuses used to remove or change lines from the classic novels will serve as the epitome of the West’s nonsense, as works such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, The Twits, and others were irreversibly damaged for the sake of protecting overly sensitive individuals.
The excerpts on the left are the original 2001 authorized Puffin edition, and the excerpts on the right are the now whitewashed 2022 authorized Puffin edition:
Even more of the changed lines, as well as thorough explanations behind why they were changed can be read via an online article.
Imagine having the gall to think yourself a better writer than Dahl and to edit his works. These people have the same mentality as the shitty localisers destroying texts.
That was my first thought when I saw all the references to Kipling being changed to Steinbeck. Not ‘Kipling and his first-hand accounts of colonialism in India were problematic’ but ‘How are american kids supposed to know who these foreign authors are?’
Uh a quick search and to no surprise. The Telegraph is known for often times creating misinformation and other false narratives. Here are a few examples.Accusation of news coverage influence by advertisers
Edit
In July 2014, the Daily Telegraph was criticised for carrying links on its website to pro-Kremlin articles supplied by a Russian state-funded publication that downplayed any Russian involvement in the downing of the passenger jet Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.[85] These had featured on its website as part of a commercial deal, but were later removed.[86] The paper is paid £900,000 a year to include the supplement Russia Beyond the Headlines, a publication sponsored by the Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the Russian government’s official newspaper. It is paid a further £750,000 a year for a similar arrangement with the Chinese state in relation to the pro-Beijing China Watch advertising supplement.[87][88]
In February 2015, the chief political commentator of the Daily Telegraph, Peter Oborne, resigned. Oborne accused the paper of a “form of fraud on its readers”[89] for its coverage of the bank HSBC in relation to a Swiss tax-dodging scandal that was widely covered by other news media. He alleged that editorial decisions about news content had been heavily influenced by the advertising arm of the newspaper because of commercial interests.[90] Professor Jay Rosen at New York University stated that Oborne’s resignation statement was “one of the most important things a journalist has written about journalism lately”.[90]
Oborne cited other instances of advertising strategy influencing the content of articles, linking the refusal to take an editorial stance on the repression of democratic demonstrations in Hong Kong to the Telegraph’s support from China. Additionally, he said that favourable reviews of the Cunard cruise liner Queen Mary II appeared in the Telegraph, noting: “On 10 May last year The Telegraph ran a long feature on Cunard’s Queen Mary II liner on the news review page. This episode looked to many like a plug for an advertiser on a page normally dedicated to serious news analysis. I again checked and certainly Telegraph competitors did not view Cunard’s liner as a major news story. Cunard is an important Telegraph advertiser.”
In response, the Telegraph called Oborne’s statement an “astonishing and unfounded attack, full of inaccuracy and innuendo”.[90] Later that month, Telegraph editor Chris Evans invited journalists at the newspaper to contribute their thoughts on the issue.[91] Press Gazette reported later in 2015 that Oborne had joined the Daily Mail tabloid newspaper and The Telegraph had “issued new guidelines over the way editorial and commercial staff work together”.[92]
In January 2017, the Telegraph Media Group had a higher number of upheld complaints than any other UK newspaper by its regulator IPSO.[93] Most of these findings pertained to inaccuracy, as with other UK newspapers.[94]
In October 2017, a number of major western news organisations whose coverage had irked Beijing were excluded from Xi Jinping’s speech event launching a new politburo. However, the Daily Telegraph had been granted an invitation to the event.[
In April 2019, Business Insider reported The Telegraph had partnered with Facebook to publish articles “downplaying ‘technofears’ and praising the company”. Two.Premature obituaries
Edit
The paper published premature obituaries for Cockie Hoogterp, the second wife of Baron Blixen,[97] Dave Swarbrick in 1999,[97] and Dorothy Southworth Ritter, the widow of Tex Ritter and mother of John Ritter, in August 2001.[97]
3.Accusation of antisemitism Editors for both the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph have been criticised by Guardian columnist Owen Jones for publishing and authoring articles which espouse an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.[98] In 2018, Allister Heath, the editor of the Sunday Telegraph wrote that “Cultural Marxism is running rampant.”[99] Assistant comment editor of the Daily Telegraph, Sherelle Jacobs, also used the term in 2019.[100] The Daily Telegraph also published an anonymous civil servant who stated: “There is a strong presence of Anglophobia, combined with cultural Marxism that runs through the civil service.”[101] 4.Islamic extremism and scout groups
Edit
In January 2019, the paper published an article written by Camilla Tominey titled “Police called in after Scout group run from mosque is linked to Islamic extremist and Holocaust denier”[102] in which it was reported that the police were investigating Ahammed Hussain, the Leader of the Scout Group at the Lewisham Islamic Centre, because he had links to extremist Muslim groups that promoted terrorism and antisemitism.
In January 2020, the paper issued an official apology and accepted that the article contained many falsehoods, and that Hussain had never supported or promoted terrorism, or been anti-Semitic. The paper paid Hussain damages and costs.[103] In their apology they said: “The article was published by our client following receipt of information in good faith from the Scout Association and the Henry Jackson Society; nevertheless our client now accepts that the article (using that expression to refer to both print and online versions) is defamatory of your client and will apologise to him for publishing it.”[104] 5.China Watch
Edit
In 2016, the Hong Kong Free Press reported that The Daily Telegraph was receiving £750,000 annually to carry a supplement called ‘China Watch’ as part of a commercial deal with Chinese state-run newspaper China Daily.[105] The Telegraph published the supplement once a month in print, and published it online at least until March 2020.[106] As of April 2020, The Telegraph appeared to have removed China Watch from its website, along with another advertisement feature section by a Chinese state-run media outlet titled “People’s Daily Online”. This followed the People’s Daily Online section carrying misinformation about COVID-19, including claims that traditional Chinese medicine could help fight the virus.[107] 6.In January 2021 British press regulator, the Independent Press Standards Organisation ordered The Daily Telegraph to publish corrections for a “significantly misleading” article published by Toby Young in July 2020 article “When we have herd immunity Boris will face a reckoning on this pointless and damaging lockdown” which spread COVID-19 misinformation that the common cold provided “natural immunity” to COVID-19 and that London was “probably approaching herd immunity”.[109][110] 7.Climate change denialism and misinformation
Edit
The Telegraph has published multiple columns and news articles which promote pseudoscientific views on climate change, and misleadingly cast the subject of climate change as a subject of active scientific debate when there is a scientific consensus on climate change.[117] It has published columns about the “conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth”,[114] described climate scientists as “white-coated prima donnas and narcissists,”[114][115] and claimed that “global warming causes about as much damage as benefits.”[116] In 2015, a Telegraph news article falsely claimed that scientists predicted a mini-ice age by 2030.[115] Climate change denying journalist James Delingpole was first to use “Climategate” on his Telegraph blog for a manufactured controversy where emails were leaked from climate scientists ahead of the Copenhagen climate summit and misleadingly presented to give the appearance that the climate scientists were engaged in fraud.[118]
In 2014, The Telegraph was one of several media titles to give evidence to the House of Commons Select Committee ‘Communicating climate science’. The paper told MPs they believe climate change is happening and humans play a role in it. Editors told the committee, “we believe that the climate is changing, that the reason for that change includes human activity, but that human ingenuity and adaptability should not be ignored in favour of economically damaging prescriptions.”[119]. There in other words this article could very well indeed be a total fabrication. But words are wasted on the right wings japs,pseudo neo Nazis, and oh yeah suspected child predators.
That’s because they are the same people.
Yep, they’re exactly the same thing. They’ve decided what the actual author wrote is beneath them and so they will make it “better”.
We are living in a cultural dark age at this point.. That’s how it will be looked at in the future I believe.
This kind of thing goes against everything we should stand for.. from artistic endeavor to artistic freedom. Thankfully the author is not here to see the destruction of his work. His family clearly doesn’t care.
We are living in barbarity times.
Preserving history and the work of artist’s and writers has never been more needed than now. This is such an ill era that is going crazy with trying to make sure that everything anyone has worked on is rewritten. This generation is so fucked because of the products they are consuming aren’t teaching them anything naturally.
Buying physical copies of books/movies/games seems to be a good decentralised way to preserving culture.
Physical books are inconvenient to use. Might as well store them in a digital format of your choosing on your own drives, where they cannot be altered/deleted by a third party.
Very true and it is what i’ve been doing for years.
That’s what we old fucks have been saying for decades. Glad you digital babies are finally understanding the wisdom of your elders.
I don’t know why people keep saying stuff like “era” acting like this politically correct madness is ever going to end after some point, especially when nothing is ever done about it. The elite already know this is the best way to keep the common man down beneath them and we’ve gotten to the point where society is so large and influenced by figureheads and said figureheads using technology and the military if need to be to assert dominance over the populace that I see this PC mental illness continuing forever.
The ONLY way I see any of this changing is if large portions of the population started revolting, but good luck with that, even if it’s completely peaceful and no weapons are used whatsoever the political and economic elite will be sure to apprehend anyone that has any thoughts of changing the status quo with large enough numbers, whether by slander/libel or by force. They will 110% go all in on labelling these people as nazis, trying to undermine publics order, etc., etc. and use those false claims as justification for putting bullets in their heads if they feel like it.
People say “era” because it is a time where political correctness has reached a peak it has never been at before and is so strong it is in the process of swallowing its own tail which is the only way it has an feasibility into dissolving.
And the down fall of the western world is complete time to stock up on the mohawk gel
“This generation is so fucked because of the products they are consuming aren’t teaching them anything naturally.”
Which is the point. This is all for the sake of brainwash and control, not teach. To create snowflakes all around.
This generation is mostly done because of it, i cant even imagine how it will be in 20-30 years from now where most of us will be in our 50s, 60s or possibly even 70s. This s♥♥t show has barely started.
So DAMN TRUE!
I understand. All their “save our planet” bullshit, it was just so they can not be immediately disregarded! Then they revise whatever people like so it becomes easier to fit in! Then even easier to fit what they espouse and believe in to force upon those who they disregard! Beware of people who are nice to you . . . for no reason. Because they’ll find EVERY REASON to make you the bad guy!
My God this is the first signs of these fuckers rewriting history that gets approved
You’re late. It’s been happening for a while now. For example, all the remakes of everything. It’s not for higher definition.
JUST STOP!
