Remember, absolutely do not draw any historical parallels here. Sweeping book bans of books deemed to be unpatriotic or too in favor of racial and social equality have never been a thing before now.

As long as they don't ban Animal Farm who cares.

Some of those are better off watched as movies like V for Vendetta

Edit: The Hachet and Little House on the Prairie books were cool too, hope those get to stay.

The book does not contain any hints on how to win the lottery.

Is this an example of cancel culture?

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Most of the actual examples of it do come from the right yes

It says the graphic adaptation. At a guess, that one might be banned because it's extremely graphic about the ending.

Eh, it's a school in my home state. If those kids could read, I'm sure they'd be very upset.

Thankfully that's a non-issue.

I think youre giving the people banning these a little too much credit in their motivations

Lol, they didn't know V for Vendetta's title when they banned it.

But also, wouldn't conservatives love V for Vendetta? I know there's a lesbian in there, but that should be water under the bridge against the larger theme of fighting the government for freedom.

How silly, cancel culture is something only liberals possess and certainly can never ever be done by conservatives.

Or so they'd have you believe.

Conservatives are only small government about things they disagree with

Thank you for that well-considered opinion. I shall enshrine it post-haste in the porcelain filing cabinet

I only know 3 of those

Handmaid's Tale: yep. I'd have been shocked if it wasn't on the list. It is literally about the society Republicans want to create. But the heroes of the story are the people fighting back to overthrow that society. Makes sense it would offend them

V For Vendetta: I've only seen the movie but again, it is about battling against a far right dictatorship. Another tale where conservatives are the villains

Y The Last Man: this one is a little surprising. I mean, I guess I get it.... all the men die, so thats probably spooky to them. But at the same time, the main character is the last living male human. I only watched the first 2 episodes of the canceled show. But like 15 years ago I read maybe half of the comic. Never finished it, but some aspects of the story you would think Republicans would like. The main hero has to fight some women, who want him dead. You are meant to root against those women and cheer on the male hero..... but I'm probably putting more thought into this, than the people that banned it

Conservatives and Liberals. Both groups of nuts. Two sides of the same coin.

the handmaid's tale that's getting removed is the graphic adpatation too

it's weird since you'd think if if was the general content/message of the story, they'd want to get rid of the actual book and not just the graphic novel version. but also the general tone of the list suggests to me that it's about more than just a few explicit pictures or whatever. maybe that's the only way they coul actually justify it

The actual book is on ban lists in other districts and states

No, not that kind of freedom, the other kind.
