    Short answer? Yes.

    Slightly longer answer? if they could read.

      See, that’s why I’m thinking they won’t ban it. They can only see the pictures.

      That’s why they’ve also gotten banned graphic novel adaptations of books (The Diary of Anne Frank and The Handmaid’s Tale to name two examples) but not the actual novels.

      I’ve never read the graphic novel adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale, but I doubt it’s any more explicit than the depictions of rape in the novel.

      Short answer? Yes.

      Long answer? None of them have ever read any of the books they want banned, they found or were given a list of “bad books”, and are now blindly trying to get them all banned, like the stupid obedient sheep they are

    I love how it’s a little golden book, and some of those are straight up banned. We found a rather racist one of those in a neighborhood mini library thing, “Little Black Sambo”— (the OG story is a real folk tale but the images they used were not great)

      I’m ashamed to say I owned that one. I didn’t buy it myself, obviously.

        I got the sense it wasn’t meant with malice, just people of the 1960s attempting to tell a story from another culture and uhh… flavoring it. The story actually got retold with a bit more cultural sensitivity in the 90s, since the base story is actually ok (apart from, you know, eating tigers).
