the hardest part of being a parent is realizing that there are no right answers. every choice you make to avoid inflicting trauma just comes with a trauma you didn’t anticipate. being a child is traumatic and being alive is traumatic and there’s nothing you can do except hold them in your arms and say i’m sorry, i love you, i like you, i’m here.

I read an article on Guardian, which I can no longer find, about editing some older books to remove problematic elements. I don't really have an opinion on this, as I see both sides, but I admit the wokery has been getting on my nerves lately. What I would do is, publish both the "good" and "bad" version, just make it clear which one it is so the reader knows what they're buying. Or leave the books as they are and put an introduction at the beginning of the book with warnings.
Agatha Christie, my most favourite author, is often included in this. Everyone knows about the original title of And Then There Were None. The woke kids faint into helpless heaps when they hear of it, but the truth is, the book itself features no racism. The title comes from a nursery rhyme. It's got nothing to do with Agatha Christie. She often used children's rhymes and poems and similar in her works (Five Little Pigs, for example). It does not matter what they objects of the rhyme are, they could be people or animals or things, point is, they get killed one by one in a manner mirroring the rhyme. No black people are harmed in the course of the story. (I mean, it can be assumed the characters are all white without it being stated so, you can HC them anyhow you want I suppose, but trust me, none of them are good people, hence the point of the story.)
In fact, one of the characters, Philip Lombard, is guilty of leaving a group of African people to die (Vera remarks that they were "just natives", and that's about as racist as it gets, as far as I can remember.)
If you want to talk about Agatha Christie being problematic, talk about the anti-semitism. For example, in The Hollow, Midge, the character who is probably most sympathetic to the reader, has an awful, bitchy boss at work. This would be fine, except the boss is also Jewish and is described in shockingly offensive way. She's a minor character and has nothing to do with the crime, (it's a standard Agatha-style country mansion big family murder), so you could remove the offensive elements and nothing would change--and honestly, the woman being Jewish adds nothing to the story.
But that would require people actually reading the books.

Wanted to try my hand at designing some slightly older duck kiddos!!! Headcanons and insane ramblings under the cut:
I designed these to be around 14-15, so early high school age (y'know in a hypothetical scenario where they actually end up going to high school). I imagine they still adventure with Scrooge and the fam, just moreso on the weekends (cut to Huey on the floor of the Sunchaser frantically trying to finish his biology homework while they're being shot at by sky pirates). Donald and Della are also both a part of the school PTA. Nobody else in the PTA is happy about this. Now for individual headcanons:
Huey:
Straight A student that's kinda neurotic about his grades, will freak out if any of them drop to a B.
I like to think of his hat as his comfort item so he still has the same one and if it was up to me he would also wear it to adulthood. even if a grown ass man in a lil baseball cap looks silly.
He's sooo mad about Dewey being taller than him lol.
Dewey:
Solid B student with the occasional C.
Couldn't join the drama club and the basketball team at the same time so he chose the drama club (the actual reason is that he tried out for the basketball team and didn't make it but he won't admit that). He still likes to carry around a basketball and practice on the court by himself.
Grows cheek fluff like the others he just cuts his off out of insecurity.
He's the tallest.
Louie:
Has pretty shitty grades, not because he's not smart, but because he doesn't really try (I mean, kid already has it made, why bother?).
Still wears the same green hoodie every day like he did as a kid but this time it's a little bit bigger and baggier. Does he wear the same clothes underneath too???? We will never know.
He's the shortest.
Webby:
Also a straight A student like Huey but seemingly puts in way less effort than him (which bothers Huey greatly).
Has to carry all her supplies in her arms because she's not allowed to bring a bag to school anymore (she kept trying to bring weapons in. Not because she planned on using them, but because you can never be too prepared.)
In at least 5 different clubs, probably started like 3 of them.
