The woke police have been coming for James Bond for quite a while.
The Gateway Pundit reported that a 2023 reprinting of Ian Fleming’s 1950s classic Bond books contained rewritten passages to remove “racially insensitive” words and stereotypes.
The new printing also contained the disclaimer, “This book was written at a time when terms and attitudes which might be considered offensive by modern readers were commonplace.”
“A number of updates have been made in this edition, while keeping as close as possible to the original text and the period in which it is set,” the disclaimer adds.
Now, the British Film Institute (BFI) is adding multiple trigger warnings ahead of its tribute to composer John Barry, whose catalog includes several Bond movies.
