The Roald Dahl Book Revisions meme emerged in early 2023 following news that Puffin Books had hired 'sensitivity readers' to alter hundreds of words in Dahl’s classic works to make them more inclusive. The changes targeted language regarding weight, mental health, and appearance, such as changing Augustus Gloop from 'fat' to 'enormous.' The internet responded with a wave of parody memes, often imagining how other famous literary works or historical texts would look if subjected to similar modern revisions. The meme is typically used to critique perceived over-sensitivity, corporate sanitization of art, or to create absurd 'modernized' versions of gritty stories.
