Topic	James Bond books being rewritten to avoid offense to modern audiences
Kim_Seong-a 02/26/23 5:32:01 PM #29:	Yeah....the Bond novels have a bunch of stuff thay is absolutely sickening. I can understand the desire to give audiences a version of Goldfinger where Oddjob doesnt eat live cats and where Bond himself doesnt call Koreans lower than apes. Though I would still prefer that the original texts remain available in addition to the "clean" versions. As horribly bigoted as Fleming was and as egregiously as that manifested in his novels, I dont think we gain anything by trying to sanitize the past. --- Lusa Cfaad Taydr <cite>Kim_Seong-a posted [p:971823127] in James Bond...
