I know you guys are blind slaves to hits and likes, but maybe sometimes don't choose violence? It ain't that hard.

Children has The right to grew up without hävning to care about race and sexuality issues. Its all right to have friends of different races and so on, but let children explore the world without Politically correctness.

please listen to all the people asking you to delete this tweet - this headline is making the authors mentioned targets for abuse. As many people have pointed out, it is NOT the case that some authors have to 'move over' to make room: there is room for ALL.

Yep, terrible headline, disappointed in

Nice misleading headline... But I suppose news has to create division wherever it can these days. Is this the literary equivalent of the recent petrol stories? 'Panic-buy David Walliams books before he's cancelled into oblivion'?

Whoever okayed this title should be embarrassed.

, just delete the tweet - this headline is harmful and imprecise 🤦🏿‍♀️

Rewrite the title

Change your headline , that is not was said at all. Use the actual words, the ones that have power for good, & change.

The culture war is an invention of the mass media None of the authors in the article mention David Walliams But clock all the white people in the replies buying into it so they can be racists without being racist Will you please look at yourselves

What an incredibly irresponsible headline. You know exactly the type of people this will inflame, especially when those interviewed are trying to do nothing of the sort.

About time!

Why? To what benefit?

So basically well crafted and properly edited stories sell better than unpolished drafts. Who would have thought.

'dominating'. yeah all the white writers go out of their way to stifle the voices of black writers. confirmed

Trump will save america and world. Biden will make america, world, mess Why Biden is a mass of mess.coming days in america and all theWorld willBe horrible mess.because the events faster than speed of Biden thinking. so problems willBe accumulated and collapse happens inOne Y

If his books sell, the market has spoken. Hope he don't use his platform to indoctrinate. Maybe I'm a cynic.

Using this sort of language, it almost seems like you want to forcibly replace white authors.

this is terrible news

Dune review – David Lynch’s intergalactic epic shoots for the moonThere are moments of dreamlike brilliance in this extravagant fable of imperialism – provided you can stay awake to see them The movie sucked due to lack of action. The scenery shots were fantastic & the fact it was only 2.5hrs compared to the originals 3+hrs. lol. B I'm a big fan of David Lynch and many of the cast of his version of Dune, but the movie never got going properly. It's ages ago that I've last seen it, and I honestly forgot most of it. An oiled up Sting in his underpants wasn't great either. One of Lynch's lesser productions.
