Re: Controversial opinions

I dunno if that example holds, because Susan is a character that's old enough that the way we see her is different from the way people who first read the story. We've put different values on femininity, and how much we agree with Lewis. But she's still fundamentally her; she's still a white British girl who went to Narnia.

(then again, I'm only vaguely familiar with Narnia and that controversy. Maybe I'm missing something)

The way we perceive characters and stories changes, that's inevitable, but radical change happens through revision-- the result is an offshoot of the original. Still, I don't think that's a process that can be sped-up, and the result will always be something that not everyone is going to be happy with, so people would keep reclaiming and it never ends
