I only described their actions. You're talking about motivation. Though the publisher's motivation matters little when it's the "sensitivity readers" doing all the changes.
- ajross 4y agoFWIW: the "sensitive" people seem to be your cohort, no? Most of us just Don't Care. It's a dumb thing, but it's not a genuine affront to real fans of the art either. I mean, be real: have you actually read Matilda or The BFG to an actual child?
- stuckinhell 4y agoIf you didn't care, you wouldn't be commenting here, and you also insult another Hackernews User over "caring". Do you actually understand your own emotional reaction or are you trying to use a gross rhetorical trick here ?
