Yeah, those edits were idiotic, all right, thanks for sharing

But I was more keen to see who celebrated those. Although, I am sure such people probably exist not only in the Dahl Estate

It was possibly on Reddit, but you can imagine the rhetoric. I actually do think it was on Lemmy. I believe I said that the Oompa-Loompas being literal African Pygmies was a bit much, and could remember feeling that way even as a young child. I think even Mr Dahl himself might have come to the same conclusion in later life.

This is okay for people to change their views, I think it's better to add author's or editor's commentary in such a case, not censor the shit out of the book
