Re:21st-century editors should keep their hands off of 20th-... by technothrasher on Monday June 12, 2023 @03:30PM (#36299620)
Roald Dahl's stories are so full of inappropriate conflict resolution and outgrouping of others that it honestly feels silly to change a few words and call it fixed. I loved Dahl's stories as a kid specifically because it was obvious they were 'naughty' and like a lot of fiction they allowed me to explore darker feelings and desires without actually living them out in real life. However, that said, I don't particularly mind people updating stories to modern sensibilities as long is it is made obvious that it isn't the original edition, and those original editions are archived somewhere.
