What I don’t really get is the cancelling of a subset of his work.
If he did the drawings and those are deemed racist enough to cancel his work why are the company still ok with profiting off the rest of his work? He was either racist or he wasn’t and if he’s racist and that’s enough for cancellation then stop the circulation of all his work and stop profiting off it.
Like be consistent with your logic, think if it came down to stop profiting off Seuss at all and removing him from children’s culture entirely people might approach this more rationally but instead it’s “yeah he’s racist but we’re still going to profit off the work where he didn’t draw racist caricatures.”
Just find it interesting the cancellation becomes granular once the property is profitable enough. If the company really cared they’d stop selling all his work entirely.
