Would it be a decent compromise to include a content warning?
- like they do for old films with dodgier content than we'd comfortably tolerate these days?
On a related note, isn't it curious that we have widespread state film censorship, but it's far less common to see literary censorship.

It's disappointing that she gave in to all the pearl clutching in the end.
I suspect that the vast majority of folk denouncing her for her 'racist' and 'ableist' overtones likely had no intention of reading her book in the first place.
People make a hobby of finding things to get morally outraged by these days. Instead of bowing to their demands of inoffensive vaguery, why not grow a fucking backbone and tell them to shit off, instead?

Wasn't she responding to public criticism rather than being censored by a state body, though?
It's not like she was legally obliged to make cuts or anything.
