So, does this one "wash" for you? It's a FICTIONAL STORY written by a guy who has been dead for a very long time, and lived in an era that had nothing even approaching the concept of "political correctness" (which, is SJW terms, is just societally-acceptable mandated racism anyway).

I absolutely blame the SJWs for "trying" garbage like the troll OP is trying to stir up. If they have their way, the world will be Fahrenheit 451, 1984, and Brave New World, all rolled into one.

I don't even know what your point is. Everything you're saying is true, and yet still, I think it's okay for us to judge it. That doesn't mean castigating the author, or denouncing the book; it means evaluating it and judging it. I don't think that the SJW analysis is a very good one, but when you go beyond critiquing the specifics of their analysis, and say that we can't analyze it at all, that 's not something I agree with. So it's a fictional story, so the guy has been dead, we can still judge it.

And political correctness, by the way, is not something that I think is really applicable here. That's one faulty rubric for right or wrong, and not one that I have much interest in. But whether political correctness existed when Doyle was writing, and whether political correctness is justified or not, there was still right and wrong, and people at the time argued in terms of better and worse. Political correctness might not have existed, but political principles did, and that's what we're talking about. I'm not judging him for not being politically correct; that has nothing to do with anything I'm saying.

I absolutely blame the SJWs for "trying" garbage like the troll OP is trying to stir up. If they have their way, the world will be Fahrenheit 451, 1984, and Brave New World, all rolled into one.

I'm sorry, but there's just no way for me to take this seriously

Their point is precisely that they don't want to think critically about it. You can analyse the reasons for that, seeing as they're not fictional and still alive.

Well yeah, usually. I've never heard anyone use the phrase unless they actually mean racism, sexism etc, or are just making something up, such as you saying there are SJW who want to burn Holmes books. (Or any books.)

It's a FICTIONAL STORY

Oh boy. Yes, art exists and is created in a vacuum, obviously.
