   It doesn't even just afflict the video industry (TV and movies) either,   
   although they are sometimes still to blame.   
      
   For example, Elisabeth Beresford's books about the Wombles were   
   originally released with illustrations of the creatures  with flat   
   snouts, then along came the TV series which stupidly changed them to   
   having pointed snouts, which then in turn meant re-prints of the books   
   were also changed to the new design of the creatures. Now almost nobody   
   remebers the original design of the creatures.   
      
      
   There are also MANY examples were a book series has had the cover   
   design changed mid-run, meaning collectors were faced with either   
   having a mis-matched set or having to re-buy the books they already   
   owned. (The same happened with VHS and DVD releases of movies and TV   
   shows.)

   Despite what Trump the Chump likes to believe, he doesn't control the   
   entire world ... he doesn't even control the USA thanks to people with   
   actual brains blocking most of his stupid ideas. His ditching of the   
   "Political Correctness" stupidity is the *ONLY* sane thing he has ever   
   come up with.   
      
   The BBC, for example, will continue to fulfil checkbox quotas and do   
   silly things like gender/ethnicity-swap existing characters.   
      
   There are a couple of politicians here in New Zealand trying to do the   
   same thing by having everyone treated the same, but the loud-mouthed   
   "PC" fools are of course making a massive fuss about how it is   
   "anti-Maori" because it would mean they no longer get special treatment   
   simply because they are Maori (i.e. reverse-racist treatment).
