In this context that's a rather small difference though. At that point the discussion is not anymore about if it's wrong or right to rewrite stories and tell rewritten stories to children, it's more about the rights of the author to not be associated with work that isn't theirs.
- AnonymousPlanet 2y agoNo, it's about not being lied to when looking up a work of fiction. Revisionism of historic facts and artwork is one of the oldest forms of political manipulation and has never served a good purpose, no matter how well meant. If you want to alter a story, make it clear that you altered it, don't replace the original with your version and then lie to people.
