>This is the doublespeak of modern-day censorship. 'Sensitivity’ is the garb moral censure now wears It's pretty funny that you never see these complaints when European folklore is butchered because it's deemed to be "unsafe for children", entire scenes are cut out of Leon or even Harry Potter is being attacked for promoting "witchcraft". Sure rewriting Dahl is silly but it is funny to me to pretend this is a modern invention in Anglosphere culture. The puritan moral panic has a long history

> It's pretty funny that you never see these complaints Have you missed the 2000's on the internet? All the people mocking "fundamental Christian" outrages against things like Harry Potter, Pokemon (evolution lol) and even the utterance of the word "Magic"? A group that was so wide and loud, that EA organized a false-flag protest against itself on the release of Dante's Inferno--just to get publicity and support via that group? The reason that you "never" see those complaints is that they have won, and any mention of magic or violence being harmful in fiction is instantly ridiculed. They became invisible by actually being the norm
