The writer described timeless characters as &#8220;fat,&#8221; &#8220;crazy,&#8221; &#8220;ugly&#8221; These adjectives, along with other offensive ones, are now described with milder terms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The world censorship regime is here and it is ugly,&#8221; Shapiro is the best-selling author, co-founder of Daily Wire and host &#8220;The Ben Shapiro Show.&#8221; &#8220;And this is direct from 1984, I mean George Orwell&#8217;s &#8220;1984.&#8221; He said that we were literally going to sit there and rewrite old literature and take out references when to change words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The charm of the books is half gone when Roald Dahl is rewritten to remove the nastiness. The books&#8217; whole purpose is to show children that the world is full of nastiness, meanness, and they must learn how to navigate it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro\/status\/1628038974261321728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 21, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shapiro noted that even references to races, genders and appearances were altered. He said that his children love Dahl&#8217;s books, which he died in 1992. According to Puffin officials the idea is to remove damaging language and perpetuate harmful stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/the-ben-shapiro-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click Here to Download the Latest Episode of &#8220;THE BEN SHAPIRO SHOW&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we are going to do this routine, you&#8217;re literally going to just have to wipe out pretty much all literature up till the last five seconds because we have jumped into a brave new world when it comes to our gender and racial politics in which we are apparently not allowed to say that men are different from women,&#8221; noted Shapiro.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And we&#8217;re also not allowed to point out anything remotely offensive to anyone or even to read historically stuff that is actually offensive and then say, \u2018Yeah, that&#8217;s what people thought at the time.
