The most off-topic WCDT discussion ever

<< < (15/33) > >>

Kugai:
And are you of the opinion that the story should be rewritten??

Just because a story is written and reflects the attitudes of the time it was written is no excuse to rewrite it. 

Carl-E:
As she said, she was taken aback by it.  Knowing the time of writing before reading it might have ameliorated that, thought not the reaction to the attitude. 

Is it cold in here?:
There was not even a hint of a suggestion of rewriting it in anything Akima said.

The closest thing in the conversation was my reflection of how much better the story would have been if General Services had been of general service.

ZoeB:

--- Quote from: Akima on 11 May 2013, 22:57 ---The story's attitude to the artefacts of non-European cultures is still widespread today.
--- End quote ---
That is the problem.

Is it cold in here?:
Not just non-European. There are plenty of pieces of art displaced today due to old intra-European looting.
