“Every publisher must be forced to continually publish every item that exists in their catalogue, even if the publisher themselves finds that item embarrassingly racist. Otherwise, the SJWs win.”

Seriously this is just incoherent. Dr. Seuss himself amended some of his past work while he was still alive because he was embarrassed by his earlier racism. His estate is certainly allowed to make similar decisions. It is not censorship.




If it's embarrassingly racist, you discontinue it quietly, maybe release a statement if asked about it. This is textbook woke-washing.
