As much as this is an obvious joke, it’s lazy and dangerous. Quite easily distinguishable from what this post is about. Conflating rewriting history with treating historical fictional works as living documents are two separate things, that deserve separate space for debate.
- Sporktacular 4y agoSpot on. But it's a degree of nuance the anti-woke mob don't want to understand. It's good to see posts that try stamp out the culture war flames.
- nonethewiser 4y agoDangerous? Go outside
- s1artibartfast 4y agoDangerous in what way? Honest question
- Sporktacular 4y agoSo you think editing out offensive wording in fiction is equivalent to changing who the protagonists were in a historical event? That is both silly and a hyperbolic attempt to shutdown a fair discussion that reasonable people might form differing conclusions from. Censorship isn't the only tool against free speech.
- s1artibartfast 4y agoThat still doesn't explain how the hyperbole is dangerous.
- Sporktacular 4y agoShutting down a reasonable conversation you don't agree with is tantamount to censorship. If you don't consider that dangerous, well again, reasonable people will disagree.
