i once saw an 'r-word' campaign and it took me forever to figure out they were referring to the word 'retarded'. as in 'being held back'

examples:
traffic at the intersection was retarded by the car accident.
the business was retarded by its outdated computer system.

In general Political Correctness in the 21st century has gotten to the point of self-parody.

He'd better not release a 'revised' version. Fuck I hate it when authors do that with a previously-published book.

Not that I'd read it anyway, but that shit needs to stop.

>> No.6681053

Fucking shit, I hate it. I bought a copy of Huck Finn online for school a few years back. When I got it all the niggers were replaced with slave. Teacher told me to send it back and get another edition. My copy of A Farewell to Arms is also censored and unlike in Huck Finn, I don't know what word is supposed be in place of the dashes. I think the word nigger is still there for all to see though.

It's a bit of a tin foil hat term but I think "Politically correct police state" is slowly becoming more and more possible

>> No.6681104

I'm pretty sure most copies of A Farewell to Arms are censored
