I see your point cat, but to me it does make a difference how old it is. Like if someone is writing a new book using racist slurrs and hatred/discrimination or whatever, then i can understand that being banned. However i dont have a problem with old literature being re-released, however incorrect it may seem now, because of the context that its portraying a time in the past, not current day. The same way that say a modern movie portraying the racism in america in the 20th century for example, would be allowed to show racist slurs and blatant discrimination to portray how things were. The difference to me, being that both the movie and the dandy comic are released in the context of how things were, not current date, however if someone was to release a new movie or a comic that was current day and full of racist slurs then id imagine it would have issues with the censors.
Does that actually make sense, or is that plain hypocritical of me?
