People will complain about political correctness, but this is just the market and intellectual property law in action.

In my experience, the ‘left’ doesn’t want the public sphere to become coddled and inoffensive. Advertisers and media companies do. It’s risk aversion.

Ideally, our shared cultural legacy would not be subject to the whims of corporate executives.

it's doubtful that advertisers and media would be blamed for Roald Dahl being simply a person of his era, if anything they are taking the risky position by interfering and actively censoring classic work - they risk selling nearly f*ck-all as people just stick to older editions and seek authenticity more and more
