As a rule I don't mind trigger warnings. I'm not ok with a coupe of things due to earlier trauma. It's nice to be warned, and I'm ok if it serves the plot, not just to be edgy.

But to say a book was of its time and it might be bad from a modern perspective is both lazy and greedy.

If it's so bad, why publish?
If it's so bad, but worth publishing, doesn't that make an interesting topic to discuss, rather than a generic warning?
And parents? What parent is going to be reading this as a bed time story? Do your fucking job publishers: publish, and justify your decisions.

No the idea of this image is that the liberals expect the Marquis de Sade's 120 days of Sododm is to be taught to children.

This book is about a sadistic months-long pedophilic orgy and what they warn the reader about is views on race?

Publishers have always played it safe. It's on when right wingers ran out of people to blame they started picking on benign things everybody was already doing. And the rightest of right wingers were as illiterate as any jihadist, so they didn't notice.

Not a big deal, honestly. If everyone would be as kind, we wouldn't have any serious racial issues. Love conquerors all; men are simply too weak to love properly.

This book is full of a pyshopaths autobiography and wishes on torture, rape and abuse and depravity and the publisher expects it to be read to children but warn them about some racist comment.

[Anonymous No.23381224]

Has another author ever tried to finish writing 120 days? I believe if De Sade had actually finished it, the book would have been burned and banned and not survived to this day.

I disagree. To me, the punchline is that you're reading a book about coprophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, incest, rape, child sexual abuse, torture and murder, but some of the slaves being black is where you draw the line and need to warn the readers that it's bad.

Yeah it’s Sade’s thoughts on race that set him apart from polite society.

[Anonymous No.23381633]

It was a different time though, I don't think we should hold him to the same moral scrutiny. I'm sure if we only gave him a chance he would learn not to be so prejudiced based only on skin color.

The text is in the public domain. Probably the translation. What they've tried to copyright is the combination of text, cover, font, any ancillary text like intro.

It's typical disingenuous publisher shit. But it does mean you could publish your own copy, just slap a cover on it. Just look at all the same ebooks amazon sells.

>ITT: retards too stupid to realize it's just lazy boiler plate and lazy editors never checked their boilerplate paragraph
I guarantee you in whatever program they typeset the manuscript they have shortcut like <\triggerwarning>. So nobody ever checked it in print, the editor was just like, "hey codemonkey intern, make sure to use the \triggerwarning command in the frontmatter file. We include it for works the liberal populace might deem outdated."

But this is 4chud. So you guys like to feel outraged all the time.

Actually, you're right. I forgot the point of my post. That rightwingers can't read. Certainly not to the inbred kids they accidentally had.

It's a generic trigger warning. Publishers of these public domain works don't have to read the books to sell them.

It's a standard trigger warning used by the publisher. They probably don't know what the book is about. And neither do you, you've just read about it. You've read some one else's trigger warning.

Calm down.
