I would have much less of a problem with these edits if they were loudly announced from the cover, and used not the original title of a work, but an altered one, such as "Ian Fleming For Kids". Though I wouldn't want to see o

So the edited versions weren't marked as edited, and they were trying to pass them off as genuine?

Is that why history and pop culture are filled with the heroism and benevolence of whites, and the crimes and hostilities perpetrated upon them by demonized people of color? And if you want to find examples of whites doing something wrong,

If you feel the need to hide behind trolls to avoid agreeing with literally the mildest possible statement about whites, then I would say that no, you don't. That's like being pro-vivisection just because the Nazis made a point ab
