English editions were being rewritten for modern audiences.

These are not "modern" audiences. These are dumbed-down and indoctrinated audiences.

This is getting good. Soon you will have to get the original versions on a torrent or a Samizdat dissident PDF

Were the cloud men in James and the Giant Peach actually men?

I never read the story so know nothing about it.

But if those characters were identifiably male, why would anyone decide to make them gender neutral?

The funny part is, woke people won’t buy these stories anyway, because they don’t feature enough explicit sexual perversion even with these changes. And now non-woke parents won’t buy them either. So they’re appealing to a market share of zero now.

I think BFG was my favorite of his children’s books. The Giants vocabulary was just hysterical... and meeting the Queen is never to be forgotten once read.

They’ve just made his earlier version leap in value.

Look for Uncle Tom’s Cabin to become Uncle Tom’s Ski Chalet... Little Women to become Little People with Wombs for Abortion...
