"The edits and deletions will affect classic Dahl titles such as Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and others. The edits primarily focused on replacing or omitting words such as "fat" or gendered terms such as "men." In some instances, sentences of seemingly inoffensive content were entirely deleted."
For example, from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:'
"Mike Teavee himself had no less than eighteen toy pistols of various sizes hanging from belts around his body, and every now and again he would leap up into the air and fire off half a dozen rounds from one or another of these weapons" was entirely deleted."
and
""The Oompa-Loompa bowed and smiled, showing beautiful white teeth. His skin was rosy-white, his hair was golden brown, and the top of his head came just above the height of Mr. Wonka’s knee" was deleted.
