This is why I refuse to buy digital copies of movies. Physical media or GTFO.

Now they're comin' for Agatha Christie (removing mortally-offensive text like a child's gaze being referred to as "disgusting" :roll: ).

It's authentically terrifying knowing that these bowdlerized versions might be the only ones available from this point on, especially in actual printed form. :( And all at the behest of 25-year-old Twitter addicts who are shocked - SHOCKED!!! - that the world wasn't a joyful utopia prior to 2023 (like it is in 2023 :roll: ).

It's time we pushed BACK at this bullshit.
