    My kid had a Halloween book taken from them because it offended someone. It had a witch on it.

    It can be both.

      I don’t get how this anecdote counters the idea that life was complex in the past, they just weren’t necessarily aware of it?

      That is hilarious (and sad)! I had a similar problem when I was a kid! Grew up during the “comics and video games baaaad” era so concerned parents went into libraries stealing comic books and anything that looked satanic.

      They really shit their pants when Harry Potter came out.
