Those of us who grew up near various religious communities in the second half of the twentieth century are familiar with the edited and abridged versions of media made to be more palatable to the morals of whichever community, as well as the scandals over media which were an affront to them for whatever reason.

Obviously, a publisher committed to those communities and who can get the rights to do so will make a “clean” versions for them. For better or worse, it happens all the time.

The only news here is in whose morals are behind expressed in the edits, because we had gotten used to it just being a religion thing and forgot that secular morals can run just as puritanical.

Who is “we”? Those of us who remember the stories of, say, every English edition of Mein Kampf (every one of which either deleted from or added to, often both, the German edition for propaganda purposes, whether it was making the Nazi program more palatable to the West or less), did not.
