I tried to have a discussion about Roald Dahl on reddit and got dogpiled by people saying he isn't welcomed in those communities. The discomfort over Roald Dahl is real and it's not going away any time soon. The antisemitism is on the record now. His family apologized for it in 2020 and has been paying the price ever since. The Royal Mint declined a coin over it. The 2023 sensitivity-edit fiasco, where Puffin quietly rewrote hundreds of words and then had to reissue the originals after the backlash, showed how nervous his own publishers are about Roald Dahl. So he's in the Kipling position: reputationally compromised, which will accelerate over the next century. >Roald Dahl is being systemically dismantled and destroyed by the Jaws for going against them. >Soon he will just be known as 'oh that racist 'BFG' guy.>another anglo icon is being reputationally destroyed for speaking out against central banking.
>>25513233>on redditstay there>destroyed by the Jawsit was a movie, the shark wasn't real
>>25513233>reddit becomes anti-semitic>reddit keeps witch hunting others for being anti-semitic
>>25513233Reddit hates Israel though
>>25513245yes, but some sub reddits are controlled by pro-israel mods and delete anti-zionist comments (/r/worldnews - where maxwell was a mod btw "maxwellhill")
>>25513240You're only allowed to hate something for the right reasons
>>25513233Penguin did the same with Wodehouse. Without rereleasing the originals. I hope hell is real.
>>25513245The standard liberal position these days seems to beJEWS GOODbutISRAEL BADwhich is pretty close to being the opposite of the truth. Jews are bad, but I have more sympathy for Jews in Israel than anywhere else.
>>25513285
>>25513245They hate Israel because they view it as an aggressively nationalist "white" country that's genociding browns.
>>25513285>JEWS GOODYes>ISRAEL BADNo
GOY SPOKE BAD ABOUT THEMNETFLIX BUYS UP HIS WHOLE FILMOGRAPHY AND PUTS TIMOTHE CHALEMET IN THEM STEVEN SPIELBERG ADAPTS HIS BOOK AND FILLS THEM WITH PERVERSIONTHEY DO THIS SHIT ON PURPOSE LIKE WITCHES CORRUPTING A SMALL TOWN
Roald Dahl sucks. His shit is miserable and even as an 8 year old I found it all to be so tiresomely heavy handed.
>>25513266this makes sense
>>25513233He wasn't even antisemetic, he just criticized israel's military aggression during the Lebanon War. Like countless others, he's being humiliated and smeared for reasonable critique of specific conduct of the israeli government.
>>25513888>There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity [...] I mean, there's always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason."
>>25513273They did? Tell me more.
>>25513890he's right
>>25513890Damn, cringing hard at that. It's not that he says it it is his refusal to elaborate.
His wife was totally hot. Roald Dahl is a stud.
>>25513240It's almost as though Reddit is not a single entity.
>>25514305he's got psycho eyes
>>25513890yeah?Why do you think Hitler picked on them?
He was 100% right about Israel's debacle in Lebanon. Even Reagan had to call Begin and threaten him to stop at the outskirts of the Beirut city limits. The US-Israel "alliance" almost ended there. A USMC Officer pulled his sidearm on an IDF tank and climbed up on its turret during a confrotation. During one of Sharon's visits to the front he got super pissed when IDF officers who had been visiting observation posts showed him pics they had taken of US Marines playing volleyball and kicking around soccer balls with Lebanese kids. Read "The Twilight War" by David Crist
>>25513233>on reddit
>>25514305he forced her to have an abortion
>>25513890Was it this vague quote about the jewish character or his specific comments on the conflict of the day that inspired the jews to begin their relentless assault on him, which which has continued unabated for 40 odd years now?
>>25514360Jealous much? He's undoubtedly thinking about how he's going to be tapping Patricia Neal in a few hours.
>>25514304I mean he probably had more to say, it's from an interview that I didn't feel like listening to in full.
>>25513233You are a fool.
>>25514408I want you to have my abortions.
>>25513233Didn't this guy write Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Wtf did he do?
>>25513273Wodehouse? lol. he was innocuous
I grew up reading based Roald's book and my children will too.
>>25513233>Kipling position: reputationally compromisedHaven't heard anyone say shit about him, these things are cyclical. Did you know X was a roycis eventually dribbles out in a so what.
>>25513233He's a children's author, and Reddit does not represent the demographic of people who buy his books (parents)He's popular enough and his IPO is making enough money for him to be whitewashed (see: the sensitivity rewrites) rather than cancelled
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH On 19 February 2023, Puffin Books announced that it would be altering the language used in many of Dahl's books to expurgate what they deemed derogatory words and passages. The process took approximately three years, and was conducted in association with Inclusive Minds, a collective that promotes accessibility and inclusivity.[12] A report from British newspaper The Telegraph found hundreds of removed or altered words and passages.[13]Some changes focused on race and ethnicity. Numerous changes were made to the use of colour descriptions, whether in reference to skin colour (a character having a face "white with horror", becoming "agog with horror") or otherwise (a person saying something "darkly", which is changed to "mysteriously").[13]References to other countries, regions, and ethnicities were sometimes removed or significantly altered, as were references to cultural practices, culturally-tied words, and indigenous lifestyles. For example, a character "hopping about like a dervish" in Fantastic Mr Fox became "like a frog".[13]Other changes focused on sex and gender. The word queer (in the sense of "strange") was regularly removed, and most references to "men and women", "boys and girls", "mothers and fathers", and similar were replaced with equivalent gender-neutral words and phrases such as "parents" or "siblings". Similarly, masculine pronouns were changed in certain general circumstances, such as the plan in The Witches to catch "the catspringer in his burrow" becoming "its burrow". In some cases, references to gender were changed, including changing the character of "Small Fox" in Fantastic Mr Fox from male to female.[13]
>>25515093THIS IS WHY THE JEWS ARE SO HATED ROALD WAS RIGHT
>>25515094both jews you can't make this shit up. comical witch like people>In contrast, author (((Joanne Harris))) supported the revisions in a tweet,[29] saying: 'Publishers updating a book - with the approval of the author's estate - to ensure its saleability is not censorship. It's just business.'[30] English writer >(((Philip Pullman))) suggested that Dahl's work should fade away in favour of authors such as Malorie Blackman, Michael Morpurgo, or Beverley Naidoo.
>>25515094Actually Jews hate wokeism more than any group because it goes against Israel.
>>25515097They are the ones doing it almost a hundred percent of the time. Look at the early life meme.
>>25515094Shouldn‘t have supported the British war effort
>>25515096>Malorie Blackman, Michael Morpurgo, or Beverley NaidooStar Wars cantina?
>>25515094It's not Jews it's women
>(((Philip Pullman))) suggested that Dahl's work should fade away in favour of authors such as Malorie Blackman, Michael Morpurgo, or Beverley Naidoo.The goy needs to fade away in favor of two jews, three women and a black
>>25515232It's not women or jews, it's reddit.
>>25515097Wokeism for thee but none for me
>>25515251>two jews, three women and a blackSounds like a Twilight Zone episode title lol
So did they change their mind on those changes or not? Getting some mixed information here
>>25515121>100% of wokes are Jewssure, Mohamed>>25515097outside of Israel nearly half (40% according to popular polls) of ethnic Jews are woke shitlibs who are anti-Israel, hence the confusion
>>25515251Willy Wonka will never fade away.
How often do you think he beat off when writing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
>>25513233Sounds like a good way to find out which communities aren't worth being in
