Very confused about the uproar on Dr. Seuss

lol TDS is Trump D**k Sucking. We all know you did it because you wanted to "own the libs". You guys are all about talk and not action. You freaking cheered Ted Cruz just so he could lie to your face.

So go on searching and posting for your "own the libs" memes and videos to distract you from your terrible soul and crappy life. You would rather be mad at everyone than live .

^ Can't get your insults correct? That's what will happen even more frequently if the left cancels Shakespeare and other "dead white guys."

hey hey it's saturday wrote:

Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced they would no longer to allow 6 books with negative stereotypes to be published.

Before that, in the last few years, school mentioned they were moving away from Seuss for a variety of reasons including diverse authors.

Also March 2, was Seuss' birthday.

Is he being cancelled? No.

Is he being boycotted? No

Is he being forgotten? No

Will he still be read by millions of kids? Yes

Are conservatives trying to make this part of their BS whining about progress. YES!

I hate to break it to conservatives but culture changes. We aren't watching the same TV shows, listening to the same music as we did 60 years ago. The tent is bigger and more art is being created all the time. We can respect the past without being slaves to it.

Ignoring the fact that a book not being allowed anymore is by definition canceling that book, your claim that we don’t consume media from 60 years ago is just laughable. I guess classical music and art is gone you guys; throw it in the trash

At my company we decided to discontinue 237 SKUs this week because they don’t have the requisite traction, margins, are outdated technology, etc.

That damnable cancel culture strikes again!

Don't mock these poor souls. They need to know that transsexual women are not competing in sport, and they will not tolerate celebrities facing blowback for unpopular opinions. Unless we are talking about the Dixie chicks. Because F the Dixie chicks. They needed to be canceled for opposing the righteous Iraq war.

Because art and sku numbers are comparable. Good to know you can’t crawl a simple topic bud.

The books are still 'allowed'. They're not banned.

The Dr Seuss foundation has just decided not to print them anymore.

Nothing to do with Joe Biden or liberal hysteria. A business decision.

From one account:

..........

In “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” an Asian person is portrayed wearing a conical hat, holding chopsticks, and eating from a bowl. “If I Ran the Zoo” includes a drawing of two bare-footed African men wearing what appear to be grass skirts with their hair tied above their heads.

.......

So reprint the books with edited imagery....that's happened in many old books already. Or are Republicans ok with racist imagery? How about we print books with white dudes in KKK garb, naked, with weeeee little sausages between their legs. Would that be ok?

Both sides are manufactured outrage profiteers. Let’s be honest

You are not a conservative. Nice try though.

Joe Biden cancelled reading the books during Seuss week. Many think the six books are why. Then, the books will not be printed anymore. So...

Both business decisions about a product. Try again.

No one said any of that. But having an argument with yourself is one way to "win"

The book is allowed. No one is going around removing books for all places. Some places won't have it anymore but so what? You aren't entitled . There are many books a library won't have.

That was not my claim. The vast majority of shows TV shows and music are not part of the mainstream culture. Some still available (like Seuss' books) but we are listening and watching a whole bunch of new stuff. i.e. not the same.

It’s a flat out dumb comparison to compare music with an arbitrary number. Sorry you can’t see that

Then articulate your point better next time. You made the claim we don’t listen to older music or watch older shows. That claim was wrong. If you want to adjust that claim now and say newer stuff is more popular, by all means do so.

The fact that the average person can no longer buy one of those 6 books means they are cancelled.

They are both products of the business that they themselves (and us) decided not to move forward with. A product is not just a “number”. How is it not analogous? You know that music and books have SKU numbers within their company too?

Are chopsticks not from Asia? Seems like you just want to be offended.
