Are you even aware of how you apply flippancy to straight out censorship?

iam happy for you to explain it to me,

 

[koshari]

You quoted me, so the idea of getting the context is on you.

which is why i cleared it up for you.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I'd say making a big song and dance about how considerate your children's books are is free marketing.

You'll also end up with people snapping up copies of the discontinued books

Controversy is its own form of publicity. We will see the results in due course.

 

[Snake_Baker]

They aren’t mutually exclusive things.

Indeed.............and what ****ing motive would a publisher have in removing some of the most popular childrens books in history from publication!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It just gives you an idea of how much counter- thought the dismissives/censorship supporters actually put in to this.

You didn't clear shit, you're a goose.

No you're not. Your entire gimmick is being a troll that has no point.

almost certainly will result in a short term bump in sales,

You didn't clear sh*t, you're a goose.

One of my many titles according to you, I may have retorted to many of your posts in disagreement over the years but i refrain from making personal attacks. a quality you dont seem to possess evidently.

I can only assume you do so in frustration.

No you're not.

Not speaking for young K here, but I guess his argument is that current cancel culture is a thing that will die out like other attempts at censorship. Not sure I agree, but I hope that it dies out very soon.

Discontinued or secondhand market book don’t actually make the publisher any money..

Sure they might’ve had a rush to pick up the books before it’s discontinued, but as an American icon, those books never had an issue selling.
They still will be being sold in a generations time, so they are removing a revenue source.

He sure as hell doesn't elaborate it very well if that's the case,

I'm done with his inane crap anyway. It's almost always a waste of time.

His arguments are constantly contrary for the sake of being contrary and are built on weak myopic foundations.

I dont think it will ever dissapear, just reckon it will ebb and flow naturaly as it has historically. fwiw i find the state based censorship being practiced by mobs like the CCP a lot more alarming.

Yeh true, I guess what I'm saying is was the company compelled by the academics or vice versa

ppppffft, big call after your efforts yesterday.

You are right in the sense that a lot of companies have looked at the BLM protests and just gone full tilt at trying to cash in by projecting a certain image. Too early to tell if this form of capitalism will work out.

They would be complicit to their shareholders if they ignored an opportunity to capitalise on the movement.

Many of the critiques that posters like yourself, DesertRoo & myself table are actually about marketing that has been facilitated by wokesterism......................and it's straight out ****ing amazing that this is supported by something that refers itself the contemporary left.

I mean...............marketing..............of all things!

Who really needs any further proof that left wing politics has been white-anted by the bourgeoisie?

The ironic thing in all this is that I am actually a traditional "leftie" who is now branded by the contemporary bourgeois left as a "conservative" , "right winger" and even a "nazi".



Never............and I mean NEVER...........have more prophetic words been spoken by an Australian politician.

Any idea on the sales figures of these books? We aren't talking green eggs and ham here

 

[DesertRoo]

I posted this the other day, new series by Adam Curtis and BBC.

Excellent watch in the context of today’s discussion. Sit down grab a glass of red and enjoy.

For a while a lot of the titles were on the school readership list, sort of guarantees exposure, secondary school compulsory reading of of mice and men, and the outsiders undoubtedly did well out of school curriculum sales. having said that its a long time since i have graced the classrooms, others with kids would have an idea of the current offerings.

And the hoops people will jump through to defend the CCP is just as alarming

My kids have a collection of Dr.Seuss books at home. I’ll check them out....and burn the filth!

"Academics" & "experts" in outrage would find something offensive about the sunset.
