And again, the Dr Seuss estate was not bullied. They don’t need to be, they will act preemptively out of fear

or to rephrase it, they will act pre-emptively to better their brand (ie sell more)

The “woke” activists have immense power and influence because the “woke” activists are the powerful corporations. They are meaning to create a culture that levels their competition and hide their massive wealth privilege.

This makes it sound like woke culture by itself isn't the source of all these grievances...corporate elites coopting it for purpose is. And the problem with that is: how does it make woke culture different than literally anything else on earth?

“How can we use this to our advantage" is how corporations respond to absolutely everything. It's how they respond to religion. It's how they see patriotism, childhood, paranoia, diarrhea, and death: it's just a sea of opportunity.

When I say...

It's just fucking corporations reacting to a major cultural change event in the silliest, most clueless way possible.

...and you say...

The elites aren't reacting to woke mob bullying or attempting to profit off of organically changing culture. They are instigating the cultural shift themselves, in a way that benefits them.

...we are crediting these cancellations to the same group of people.

Agreed. I just think that the ideology is particularly useful to them, and helps to undermine actually useful tools against them like free speech values.

You're going to undermine and overthrow cultural elites who command not only the channels of mass media but the levers of basically the entire economic world by...free speech? Lol okay.

Those are not the legs of a basketball playing she rabbit. There has to be at least some muscle definition.

They should have made her obese while they were at it.

There are some extremely sexual images of Lola Bunny out there if you look. Some while engaging in sex acts with Bugs.

I have no idea who runs the Seuss estate, but if these folks are involved, they have ample reason to be okay with some of his works getting removed from the public sphere.

Quote:

Theodor Geisel’s then-wife, children’s author Helen Palmer, committed suicide in 1967. The next year, Audrey Dimond married Geisel, and her ex-husband raised their two daughters.

“They wouldn’t have been happy with Ted, and Ted wouldn’t have been happy with them. He’s the man who said of children, ‘You have ’em and I’ll entertain ’em,’ ” she told the New York Times in 2000.

“Ted’s a hard man to break down, but this is who he was,” she added. “He lived his whole life without children and he was very happy without children. I’ve never been very maternal. There were too many other things I wanted to do. My life with him was what I wanted my life to be.”

Survivors include her daughters, Leagrey Dimond and Lark Grey Dimond-Cates.

Why is it that beloved children's authors so often hate children? Are they just trying to deal with their own childhood trauma through their work?

Outside of the Grinch cartoon I avoided Dr Suess like the plague when I was a kid. I thought it was the dumbest shit.

The Butter Battle Book was very influential on my foreign policy opinions. Likewise, The Sneetches is a great vehicle for empathy & diversity.

Netflix’s “Green Eggs and Ham” is awesome and legit funny for adults too.
