Ronald Dahl Censored


Not really all that arsed. I’d imagine those outraged by things they think of as woke, and use the word as an insult will be furious though. Bet most of them haven’t read a book in decades.
What a bizarre thing to say. You seem to be getting outraged about something nobody has said when you posted...
 
On the other hand there’s very little blood when people are shot in old films, much less dwelling on violence and very little swearing. We apparently find explicit violence and bad language more acceptable viewing these days or do we just want more realistic depictions?
The films thing is a lot to do with hitting the limits of the 12A rating, as that's the commercial sweetspot. It means that loads of films cut a hell of a lot out to make it under that limit.
And nowadays, they cut a lot of other stuff to suit the chinese censors too.

Its a big shame imo, as we miss out on - as you say - realism.
 
Point proven
Would only be proven if the Politics Sub was Labour only, I'm talking all political rants away from the dungeon. The fact that Tories don't seem to hijack threads is irrelevant, because I don't care about party politics. The powers that be decided on a politics sub, and they certainly are not Tories.

ps. I'm a socialist that knows the limits of socialism, but there isn't a party for me ok.
Really? What is black called?
Black and white are not colours...there's not a short version explanation I'm afraid, but you won't find them in a rainbow. Secondly we manufacture colour, the entire universe is in black and white. Our existence is rather like a video game.

Black and white aren't colours. They're shades.

Google for more info.
Look at a prism - it shows that a full spectrum of light can be split into its component parts - these are the colours. You can then recombine the colours to re-make white light. Colours are the same as things like radio waves, X rays etc - They are components of light radiation.

Black is when no light is reaching your eyes from that specific area. Basically, all the photos are absorbed and turned into another form of energy in the material.
 
Your 'prediction' says more about you than the imaginary people you concocted.
Thanks. It’s nice to know my skills come through after over a decade of training then work; assessing emotions, behaviour and putting labels on them.

Not really sure what the relevance of the rest of your post was seen as I agree It’sa negative. But crack on.

True, but surely it depends on what colour model is being applied, additive or subtractive?
 
Philip Pullman made a good point.
Dahl's books "should be allowed to fade away" rather than be changed if they are deemed offensive.

Indeed. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it.
Christ alive. They'll have a shock when they come to read Lord of the Flies if they thought calling Augustus Gloop "fat" was bad.
Aye, I agree with this.

Just wait til they read something by Norman Mailer :eek:
 
Is this really that much of a big deal? This (faux) outrage serves its purpose for the right wing in grabbing the headlines and takes the cost of living crisis, strikes, etc off the front pages.

Not really.

Thinking the word white is racist is not right wing.
That's what the Woke want you to think.
