How has crusoe not been cancelled?
>white man literally makes an indian his slave
>first word he teaches said indian to call him is "master"
>kills a bunch of natives in an unprovoked attack because he perceives their cultural practices as inferior, uses christian values to justify
This whole book is basically a manchild's minecraft larp diary that tries to shove Christianity down the reader's throat

Their Pride and Prejudice is quite reasonable. I bought it before I knew about their memery.

You guys are babies who need a character to Say “isn’t what I’m doing bad” to understand the intent. Just because a character does something doesn’t mean the book is an endorsement of it. This place is no better than Twitter users who think Taxi Driver is an endorsement of pedophilia.

Cancel culture is used only for media people actually care about like movies. Books are gonna be cancelled on their own by virtue of being forgotten and irrelevant as an artform

No, writers get cancelled too, it’s just that the only people who get cancelled have something to offer by way of their cancellation. Example: Junot Diaz got cancelled over basically nothing so that some women could gain some status and money.
Cancellation is merely a weapon.

The 90s movie version has a scene tacked one where Friday learns what master means and Crusoe begs for forgiveness and he has learned the power of antiracism.

I have this exact cover, best part is that the actual book I ordered was of an older edition that was listed online so I didn't even expect this abomination.
Still a fun book, the cover is just there to challenge the idea that a piece of crap cover not worth having doesn't mean a crap book in and of itself.

aside from the covers their editions are very good; nice endnotes
