Stop Censorship

Tintin was one of my favorite child characters and continues to be, me, it annoys me that some people are trying to break a legend of the comic strip that made dream millions of children without taking the decline necessary, without taking into account the context of the time, which can be concluded that Hergé albums convey dangerous ideas especially for our children and try to change or prohibit past works because they do not fit not in what is good to see, read or hear. This is outrageous, it was exactly the same with the cartoons of Tex Avery, censorship of some scenes considered racist, but what right can we say such things, what right do we censor past deeds?

These works reflect their time, Hergé and Avery are somehow cartoonists, they permeate the thinking of their contemporaries, it was then Western society of that time to be condemned? it would not make sense as the debate around this comic also in "Tintin in Congo" child I had not seen that could disturb normal, I was too young, with age, actually the black community is not to his advantage, but is it racism? No, simply a priori, and of the caricature as a European imagination of the time with respect to Africa in "Tintin in America" ​​Hergé caricature Americans as, apart gangsters, men to greedy business and police to the sinister-looking, the Americans are not in their favor them either and yet no controversy.

I think what really bothers in "Tintin in Congo" is once again the question of colonialism, how delicate subject in today, what would you like Belgium France were the colonizing countries, it is can not rewrite history to erase or worse, this comic partly reflects the colonial past, could it be otherwise? Hergé wrote this story in 1946 or before decolonization.

Stop once and for all the controversies that they are really dangerous, because I see a form of fascism of thought "politically correct" is a form of extremism no more or less, we do not have need these paranoid censors to tell us what is right and what is wrong. You are the cancer of modern society, the inquisitors in modern times. "Tintin in Congo" remains readable, no racist, Congolese are merely caricatured and this comic reflects its time. Moreover TINTIN advocates good values, shame those who dragged Tintin in the mud, I do never forgive you.
