Author R.L. Stine Responds To Reports 'Goosebumps' Is Getting Edited With Inclusive Language - Updat

[CrispyQ]

1. IDK. I read the article & some of them made me ask,

Are we getting overly sensitive? Here are three:

In The Curse of Camp Cold Lake from 1997 the boys of summer camp are no longer described as giving “a loud wolf-whistle” and are now said to have “whistled loudly.”

This one needs more context, but if they were whistling at a female, it doesn't matter what you call it, it's unacceptable behavior. That said, it's fiction & I'm against censoring fiction.

I Live in Your Basement! was published where the protagonist of the novel asks, “did he really expect me to be his slave – forever?” The protagonist now asks, “Did he really expect me to do this – forever?”

Don't say slavery. This one sounds like something DeSantis would censor.

In Say Cheese and Die – Again!, schoolgirls were described as having “crushes” on the headmaster but that line has now been deleted.

So girls don't have crushes anymore?
