A cartoon about the changing of words in Roald Dahl books.
The cartoon illustrates the bowderising or censorship of the text of Roald Dahl children’s books. The changes include the removal of words such as ‘ugly’ and ‘fat’.
The changes are put down to the use of sensitivity readers who are employed to alter text to remove language that is judged to be inappropriate or problematic.
The action is viewed as being part of the woke phenomenon.
