I don't think this is all that different from standard procedure. Besides, especially when gross errors have been made in the past, I don't think it is at all unreasonable to make double sure this mistake is not made again. If that means hiring multiple sensitivity readers, so be it. If a new OA were to be released today, I sincerely hope they have multiple readers of different ethnic backgrounds check it before release.Could you provide an example of a case where this bar moved too far in your view? Was a specific critique a step too far?I would agree. I see little value in retroactively making changes to these books, and I am against the idea of making books completely inaccessible because their contents are questionable. That goes for ANY book.If a person states that something is offensive to them, I tend to take their word for it. If they are part of my target audience, then I will certainly consider making changes accordingly.</blockquote>
