@moonman Hmm I used to read lotsa classic literature as a kid (Project Gutenberg + Amazon Kindle for the win, amirite) and they didn't use many "homophobic" slurs tbh...but yeah everything else is accurate

@realcaseyrollins @moonman No not changing it by any means, but what's wrong with reading Chaucer or Dante and learning about the worlds they lived in?
same with Mark Twain, his language is harsh by our standards but in his time that was they way people spoke.
We shouldn't censor him because of that.

@realcaseyrollins @moonman It's staggering ignorance imo when people advocate for things like that.
