ORWELL’S ESTATE SLAPS A TRIGGER WARNING ON 1984

Yes, really: the novel about thoughtcrime now opens with a warning that its main character is "problematic" - for not liking women enough.

The Orwell estate approved a new intro claiming Winston Smith might be "despicable" and that 1984 needs framing for “modern readers.”

The book that defined thoughtcrime now comes with a pre-approved disclaimer to make sure you’re thinking the right thoughts.
