Reply to comment by cooldods in Roald Dahl threatened publisher with ‘enormous crocodile’ if they changed his words by Mighty_L_LORT
People have difficulty differentiating liberal from left. Also there are plenty of leftists that would happily condemn Dahl's works for these reasons, but it seems more likely they would just advocate for books not written by a racist, rather than amending the works of a long dead person.

That's arguing semantics.
The decision to rewrite these works was made by a profit driven corporation who didn't give a shit about the author's intentions, only their profits.
It's the very definition of right wing capitalism.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm explaining to you that people don't differentiate between left and liberal, especially in the US.

Thanks for that, I'm not from the US.
