Really? If they don’t like books, then don’t read them.

A Twitter user stated that people should stay away from those books which offend them.
The decision to rewrite James Bond books was taken after the classic Roald Dahl children’s books were being modified to appeal to the current generation of readers. They removed sensitive words like “black,” the n-word, and other derogatory terms to cater to sensitive readers of the current times.
