Puffin (publisher of Roald Dahl's childrens' books) is hired sensitivity readers to make edits designed to make the books more inclusive. Some controversy followed. Sample changes that were reported (making an effort to a sampling of different categories of changes, and noting that at least one of these appears to be a typo of some sort).
Charlie and the chocolate factory
"Pants" -> "trousers"
“You only had to mention the word “cacao” to an Oompa-Loompa and he would start dribbling at the mouth” removed, along with similar
"She wants a good kick in the pants,” whispered Grandpa Joe" -> "“She needs to learn some manners,” whispered Grandpa Joe"
"A few queer rumblings were heard" -> "A few strange rumblings were heard"
Fantastic Mr. Fox
"He was enormously fat." -> "He was enormous."
"Each man will have a gun and a flashlight." -> "Each person will have a person and a flashlight."
Several changes made to ensure that "smallest fox" is not observed to drink cider.
“That ought to cheer up poor Mrs Fox.” -> “That ought to cheer up Mrs Fox." (and other removals of the word 'poor' in similar context)
BFG
Removed: "Japanese beans is very small, so a giant will need to gobble up about six Japanese beans before he is feeling full up. Others like the Norway people and the Yankee-Doodles is ever so much bigger and usually two or three of those makes a good tuck-in."
"It was something black" -> "It was something dark"
“I don’t have a mother or a father” -> "I don't have parents"
"His skin was reddish-brown" removed
"The eyes were tiny black holes" -> "The eyes were tiny holes"
"except her faithful old Mary" -> "except her faithful Mary"
Resolves to roughly the percentage of changes that have been undone, as best I can judge from common reporting, at the end of this year.
