I haven't seen anyone that doesn't like the edits give the real reason that they are so upset about the edits. If the edits were politically slanted in a different direction, the edit-opposers would only oppose edits on principle. "Why, of course I don't support changing words in old works to make the work conform to modern standards, don't be ridiculous." But the edit-opposers are angry because the edits are clearly the work of modern western hyper-progressives, who are simultaneously trying to retain the conquests and achievements of the Old World while erasing any moral belief left over from the Old World. I do not wish to see society remade by the vision of the modern western progressive, and so I don't want progressive edits to books I loved as a child. Edit: Editing books allows progressives to simultaneously avoid the label of "book banning", which they at least claim to detest, while also constructing an incorrect image of the people of the past to aid in the moral instruction of modern children. It is the same story, over and over again, whether it's communists or religious people: "you cannot have access to information that contradicts the moral worldview we wish you to have. This is for your own safety and for the good of your fellow man."
