i guess in trump bitchland companies do not have the right to decide if their products need to change with the times, or if they should care if they might lose some business if they offend enough people with their names or images or whatever, that it is up to fox and other easily butthurt right wing snowflakes to decide what they should or should not do with their own products.

what do company decisions on Mr. Potato Head and Dr. Seuss have to do with democrats or Biden or anything at all worth worrying about? is there anything so trivial you little crybabies won't bitch about it because you have nothing of any real relevance to bitch about lately?

Bret is a fellow Progressive.
 
The cold hard fact is the Suess corporations made the decision based on their own views and their desire to do the right thing. The left and Dems had nothing at all to do with it. This is a typical right wing outrage based on lies.

What they're doing still sucks and it deserves criticism.

Cancelling certain Dr Seuss books because of some imaginary offensiveness is just going too far.

We are turning into a society of fragile, timid little girls.

Oh! So that's all fixed now? Now I just need to find that box with the books!
Selling and buying was halted on those yesterday. What happened?

No clue. Perhaps they were under review?

Also there are PDFs of those books online that you can download and print.

Semantics.

They are being recalled and taken out of print.

That is tantamount to being cancelled.

Just because liberals or liberal ideology are behind something, doesn't mean you have to defend it.

Taking these classic pieces of American children's literature out of print because, if viewed in a certain skewed light or context, they could conceivably be seen as offensive to a small segment of society, provided that segment was thin-skinned enough to take notice and be offended, is just taking sensitivity and inclusiveness too far.

Things are just getting silly nowadays and all this kind of shit does is give ammunition to the right.

Time to shut up about all this crap and get fucking lives.
