This is dumb but it's just some random people somewhere making their own version of the book, it's not like everyone everywhere is going to have to read it instead of the original. It's the kind of thing that's not really newsworthy but the media reports anyway because they know it'll drive white conservatives up the wall. Sort of like those "Mall Santa Fired For Saying Merry Christmas!!!" stories.

[QUOTE=thisispain;27202135]anyone who identified as a nazi was pretty bad there's a difference between nazi and german[/QUOTE] I know that. But the whole genocide thing was thought up by the strongest members of the party, the others were probably scared of them and went allong with it.
[QUOTE=teh pirate;27202268]why would this bother white conservatives in favor of censorship[/QUOTE] Because they enjoy complaining about how white people are victims of reverse racism and political correctness and etc etc
Isn't Huckleberry Finn a book ideal for kids? They should sell the original and the new version for kids :colbert:
People care too much.
[QUOTE=TH89;27202313]Because they enjoy complaining about how white people are victims of reverse racism and political correctness and etc etc[/QUOTE] ban people for racism, stereotype white people
[QUOTE=Doozle;27202334]Isn't Huckleberry Finn a book ideal for kids? They should sell the original and the new version for kids :colbert:[/QUOTE] New version shouldnt be sold at all. Thats just my opinion though.
They're censoring the word Injun. How the fuck could they do that, it destroys the name of an important character.

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;27202369]They're censoring the word Injun. How the fuck could they do that, it destroys the name of an important character.[/QUOTE] How can they censor "Injun" even though it's just a phoneticized Southern drawl?
[QUOTE=teh pirate;27202387]How can they censor "Injun" even though it's just a phoneticized Southern drawl?[/QUOTE] As explained earlier in the thread, to please the minorities
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;27202369]They're censoring the word Injun. How the fuck could they do that, it destroys the name of an important character.[/QUOTE] The next step is to censor accents.
[QUOTE=teh pirate;27202387]How can they censor "Injun" even though it's just a phoneticized Southern drawl?[/QUOTE] Words become offensive based on historical context and usage, + most dictionaries describe it as offensive Same reason why "Brit" is not offensive but "Paki" is
I thought this was a movie. I was about to defend the decision, but they're actually altering the book? That's absurd.
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;27200880]Make the minorities happy[/QUOTE] that's absurd. why would minorities want to be happy?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;27202475]I thought this was a movie. I was about to defend the decision, but they're actually altering the book? That's absurd.[/QUOTE] Why is it acceptable to modify a movie adaptaion but it's not acceptable to modify the book? Double standard much.
Next thing you know they'll take the whole holocaust part out of "Night." "They loaded us in these carts.... Russians came and I ate food."
