Gulliver's Travels, got it from Gutenberg and it didn't include Parts 3 & 4. I found the real version on Gutenberg after reading the shitty version, I'm going to have to reread the whole thing now.

As a victim, I take offense at your choice of words. 'get fucked' is extremely triggering to victims. It is also phalloandrocentric.

Maybe you should take a moment to reflect on what effect your words have on others, shitlord.

'get fucked' is not phalloandrocentric, because women can fuck too.

lmao learning to judiciously select editions and translations is a big part of becoming more comfortable lit. This is babby's first literary mistake.
