What would Dr. Seuss say about this, 6 of his books won't be published, and which person on the Right is angered by such atrocities?

When his books were originally published his images were an accepted normal in society. Now society has changed so it is not an accepted normal. When he designed his books what we perceive as “racism” was not perceived that way. He more than likely did not do it to belittle or put someone down but to make his then readers relate better to his books. As society changes so do acceptable norms, which means that media has to change or deem whether it is still acceptable under the new norms. The only way to say whether he meant for something to truly be racist would be to ask him in person. This is impossible since he is no longer alive. My hope is that we do not call someone something when they cannot defend themselves.

It seems that the company is voluntarily canceling its own books, which means at least in theory that no censorship is involved

He’d probably have altered them himself, which apparently he did to the “Mulberry Street” Chinese caricature later in life already.
I just looked up the two examples and they are honestly... uncomfortable to look at. Especially in “If I Ran The Zoo”.
It’s like watching old Popeye cartoons. No one is cancelling Dr. Seuss, in the same way that putting “Song of the South” in the Disney vault didn’t cancel Disney.

I would say remove the racist images and then publish them again

[Holisticapproachsara]

Well they should put the author’s corpse on trail, not for that reason. But for the way that duck is drawn in the last pic. with eyelashes and shyt. And a beak that looks like a crooked nose. Ughhh for duck sake.

>no cancel culture
>cancels Dr Suess books because sjws need to be constantly offended by something

Did you forget to put your little brain in your skull this morning you inbred pedo-lover?

[purplepoppy]

I don't think he had any intention of offending people. Kids need their characters over emphasised in a comical stereotypical way, I don't think any grow up thinking that's what people really look like.

Why not justnget rid of all books that were not perfect against race i mean kuds dont realuse what words meant

[GermanGuy87]

Dr Seuss would NOT approve. I can't believe that shit is happening. Seriously grow the fuck up if Dr Seuss offends you.

[nobodyspecial99]

I don't think racism really exists and dr Seuss can't be racist.
