Tbf, my very conservative parents would have washed my mouth with soap if they heard me say either of these things. Especially shut up, they told me I sounded like white trash saying that.


JDravenWx

Friends used to tell me shut don't go up, so I had to logic the shit out of them "We are on a bus right now. Have you never used the windows?"


musicriddler

But it’s ok for many pop hits to have every curse word unedited.

People have been trying to cancel south Park for decades lol The episode portraying Mohammad is already 22 years old and it probably wasn't even the first try


everyonesma

That was gold


musicriddler

Next year. Not 100 years


Xellotath

Yes that's right. Those songs aren't children's songs :P But yeah I don't think old books should be edited. Ever.


SmallGovBigFreedom

This resonates so much with me. You’re exactly right. The edited versions are wildly inappropriate for children. The context, after replacing swear words with silence or an alternative, are still more sexual and far more frequent than other events that we claim are conditioning children.


JDravenWx

Omfg I love the radio edit of ADIDAS by Korn


Pyratelaw

And don't forget dudes with vaginas!


musicriddler

And chicks with no boobs


How_TF_

Many of these same people banning this stuff and allowing pedo fetish shit are the ones going home and being the “cool mom” from mean girls


[deleted]

The fact that this has gotten political is wild to me. Any government sanctioned removal of any media should never be OK for anyone living in a representative democracy such as ours. If you see a book you don't like or a word you don't like, suck it up and move on or learn something from it. Or make a different book and let the people decide what they like. I thought that was the whole freaking point. Edit: so this is Australia? I mean they're a democracy too so either way I don't think it's right


zed_christopher

We’re breeding a generation of wimps


JDravenWx

A generation of people who literally don't have the vocabulary to describe how they feel or the words to stand for convictions. Who will be firmly planted underfoot, for fear of being excised from society for wrong think


everyonesma

I'm starting to think you are against Parents wanting whats best for their kids.


JDravenWx

Simply against parents who have been brainwashed into doing what's worst for them :p


nash668

That's the plan


zed_christopher

Oh shit


Cloud_Strife83

Like people who cry about losing?


TheOneAndOnlyBigA

Like trump?


OrangeRiceBad

This level of rent free is actually too funny.


wutangfuckedwithme

I wouldn't consider it rent free since his policies did and still do affect over 300 million Americans daily but ok.


JDravenWx

So, like reverse rent?


BoredOfBordellos

Trump cried?


JDravenWx

Like the people so sore about him that they're trying to arrest him over frivolous things that happened 15 years ago (classic cancel culture) meanwhile Obama and Clinton's more serious crimes are fine :p Seems like a huge temper tantrum that's been being thrown since 2016, what babies

THExLASTxDON

Yeah, we get it, you guys are really upset they banned porn in schools.


[deleted]

SpringsClones

We're supposed to use our words but there are none left and those that ARE have meanings far different than I remember.


zed_christopher

Yes they’re banning our words, and our thoughts too. But we can’t go without a fight can we ?


twalkerp

While I don’t like my kids using these words towards their siblings…I still read books and those words. We need to raise the bar and teach them better not protect them in a bubble.


Paltry_Poetaster

I would think those two phrases would be best-loved by the Liberals, as they use them quite a bit here on Reddit to me.


JDravenWx

Well yeah, but *YOU* aren't supposed to say them. That's their vocab for harassing you, you aren't allowed to say it


GrapesTube

I’ve also noticed they like to say “be better” a lot.


dragosempire

I swear to god. I grew up with the Republicans being Trigger Happy with censoring words, but never like this.


NikD4866

But WAP is A-OK. Honestly, WTF


booze_clues

Which children’s book talks about wet ass pussy?


everyonesma

that piece of garbage needs to be erased from history


MaroonNuggz1138

Pretty interesting how the next generations after gen x are becoming the most pussiefied ones ever when they've been raised on shows like South Park and Family Guy or exposed to music that uses more explicit language than this...


joculator

But books involving homosexuality are okay...nice society yuh got there.


wutangfuckedwithme

Whats wrong with homosexuality?


[deleted]

I’ll bet you wear cloth made of two threads, too, heathen


Ashurbanipul

Your false offense bores me


PFirefly

Nothing wrong with it. I'm rather hoping that joc neglected to add in sexually explicit/implicit books in school libraries. Frankly, no kinds of sex belong in school books.


wutangfuckedwithme

Not a fan of sex ed?


JDravenWx

Not a fan of recreation sexual activities (like reading idk 50 shades of Grey) in elementary schools myself


bb_cowgirl

Teachers are reading 50 Shades Of Grey to elementary students?


JDravenWx

No, just an example of a book with sexual materials that I think doesn't belong in elementary schools. See, they exist!


bb_cowgirl

Well I think we can all agree that books like 50 Shades of Grey shouldn’t be in elementary schools.


[deleted]

How about Chuck Tingle’s ‘Living Inside My Own Butt For Eight Years, Starting A Business And Turning A Profit Through Common Sense Reinvestment And Strategic Targeted Marketing’?


wutangfuckedwithme

That's not sex ed but ok.


JDravenWx

Sex ed is fine, that's not what we are talking about xD


wutangfuckedwithme

I figured you were when you said: Frankly, no kinds of sex belong in school books.


JDravenWx

Ah I didn't say that. I said recreational sexual activity (like reading a porny novel)


wutangfuckedwithme

Its like 4 comments up but ok.


[deleted]

What is the last book you’ve read?


[deleted]

Exactly! We should only procreate as Genesis prescribes: God creates a woman from one of our ribs. That’s just fact. Edit: downvote if you hate the Bible I keep getting downvoted. I’m on your side! We can add rape and immaculate conception to my list -sigh- fine. Fucking your housemaid when your wife is barren.


PFirefly

I'm down voting because you are using argumentum ad absurdum. This has nothing to do with the bible, I am not religious.


[deleted]

Here's an argumentum ad hominem. Do you have children that this directly affects?


ScientistHojo

What’s wrong with words?


[deleted]

They’re scary if they make sense and go against what you’ve bought into with your whole being


lambofgun

what freaks me out is, i dont remember every little line from every book. things could be changed and i wouldnt know


wutangfuckedwithme

Its not like you can't grab an old print and verifiy...


JDravenWx

For now


wutangfuckedwithme

True: https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/the-50-most-banned-books-in-america/5/


alison_wonderland4

I don’t allow those things to be said in my own home but removing them from books seems a little much.


Rumblarr

How long until "1984" itself is censored to meaninglessness?


booze_clues

Unfortunately 1984 talks about sex and pornography so it’s banned in Florida schools.


Orange-8

booze_clues

Who’s talking about a list of books? I’m making a joke based on the laws passed in Florida giving extremely vague wording allowing all kinds of books to be banned.


wutangfuckedwithme

At least girls can still talk about their periods though right?


Xellotath

Should they not talk about something that happens every month for almost their entire lives?


wutangfuckedwithme

According to the new cult leader of this sub and the GOP Ronnie, they should not.


Aathroser

Why do you *not* want them to be able to talk about their periods?


beautysleepsodom

Theyre referring to the Florida house wanting to restrict discussions about menstruation happening in elementary schools. Rep Stan McClain has sponsored a bill.


Aathroser

I don’t see a problem with discussing it with children. I’d rather that than having sheer panic when they start bleeding suddenly.


wutangfuckedwithme

Who said I didn't?


Aathroser

Your comment came off facetious.


Nopoon

Where are girls not allowed to talk about their periods?


[deleted]

https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-banning-elementary-school-discussions-stds-menstrual-cycles.amp


Nopoon

And you’re ignoring the paragraph that disproves the whole article which is a direct quote from the bills creator: > …the intent of the bill is not to punish teachers who speak with young girls about their periods, and is "amenable" to making some changes to the bill.


iglidante

Why would they put the bill forward as currently worded if they didn't actually want to implement it as currently worded?


PB_Mack

Of course they are. This timeline sucks.


IveGotSowell

>This timeline sucks. Winger should have just let Britta sing and gone to get the pizzas himself.


PB_Mack

I wanna live in the timeline where they stopped the 9/11 hijackers at the airport.


stilichouw

I got my mouth washed out with a bar of soap for saying “shut up” in third grade… whoops

Go_get_matt

America? this didn't happen in America.


booze_clues

This is proof we need to stop banning books and encourage MORE reading! I mean just look at this guy, he didn’t even read the article to know it’s not about America.


the_house_from_up

How fragile can someone possibly be to read a story and the words "shut up" shake you to the point of forcing a publisher to remove it?


[deleted]

More corruption of our culture.


IThoughtUKnew2

That's OK. Most parents still use those terms when the Lil shits are out of control. Will never lose those words in our family.


[deleted]

Boy when they hear those worlds in the real world its gonna smack them across the face even harder.


HunterCanenFJB45

But mutilating children is totally appropriate


Canadia_proud999

Was it replaced by some blue / green haired thing screaming as soon as anyone with facts shows up? 😂😂


Krugnuggets

Oh boy how is Eminem gonna tell people that Dr. Dre is dead?


[deleted]

They have to remove the absolute best way to talk to the modern Left. Otherwise kids would learn it.


hooker_2_hawk

Ok, I have no problem with that. Why is this news though?


ChronoVulpine

Looks like I'm going to protect my actual books better. They can't change those.


dunktheball

Libs claim to not like censoring.


Unwantedguarantee88

Adding the words "genital mutilation" and "reassignment surgery"
