Manny’s review of Disney's Pocahontas (A Little Golden Book) > Likes and Comments

I wonder how many reviews they have done this to.

I don't find any similar mails, I think this is a response to a user complaint.

ten years after?
for such a great review

@notgettingenough: twice for me 🤷

At least one GR user believes INNOCENT CHILDREN COULD READ THIS REVIEW and INNOCENT CHILDREN MUST BE SHIELDED FROM NAUGHTY WORDS, eg, asshole and Trump.

Aw, you're all so nice.

Get ‘em, Manny. Jeez.

Thank you Austin. I'm just showing that I believe in the finely tuned Goodreads system of checks and balances. Justice will ultimately prevail.

As I write this, your revised review already has 34 likes. That is 32 more than any other posted review of this book. I would be interested to know if the complaint was over 'dirty words' or the Trump fill in the blank or both. Let's hope this review stands. The world needs the humor.

I suspect the user complaint may have been checked by an AI. In general, AIs hate taking unnecessary risks, but they are logical, analytical, and always capable of understanding a reasoned argument.

Now that I've explained the point of the joke, they will be reassured that their own interpretation was indeed the correct one. They've noticed by now that many people lack a sense of humour, and know it's best not to assume anything prematurely.

Word to the wise Manny; Don't mess with The Mouse!

I'm sorry, that's not an appropriately respectful way to refer to President Trump. I have learned my lesson.

Perfection, Manny.

Thank you Brooke. I have now reached the step in my ten step program where I'm apologising to the people I have wronged, and I can tell you that I already feel better.

I'm guessing your review was found by a Disney AI bot... they're very protective of their products

Ten years an still no winner.

That's what happens when they sign you up to Project Sisyphus.

Love your apology, Manny. Hope that squares things with GR.

I'm sincere. I hope they see that. I mean, how could anyone grovel more than I did?

One of my reviews also has been deleted a while ago. I was really shocked when I received the message. It was not easy for me to even see what it was that had offended somebody. I guess I’m a racist and the ones who not even know they are are the worst.

Don't feel bad, Liedzeit. It took me ten years to realise that I'd accidentally accused Donald Trump of being a puppy murderer. He probably thinks I did it on purpose and he'll never forgive me - I was wondering why I hadn't been invited to either of his inaugurations.

I bet that one of these days you'll realise you did something similar.

I was treated far worse on Yellow Satan. The second time I bitched about obvious political-driven review bombs by wingnuts, Amazon gave me the old Mafia horse's head in bed treatment. Deleted ALL my book reviews there — except one.
Never forget that Yellow Satan is now the sole owner of this place.

Hey, at least they didn't make you drink hemlock.

I learned the hard way that an author may be a pompous ass but the reviewer is not allowed to point this out.

I would say it depends on how you do it. Those exact words are probably not the best ones.

Incidentally, I just found out today that our 47th president doesn't keep a pet dog in the White House. His predecessor had four, three German shepherds and a tabby cat.

Eric, I really hope you're not insinuating anything here. There are many reasons why a busy man like Mr Trump might not have a dog.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

Hi Manny. No, just a tangent I found surprising and interesting. I do wonder if he's a cat or a dog person though.

I found a page which claimed Trump has never had any pets. Except, I suppose, for Penthouse Pets™.

(I am not sure the ™ symbol is actually required, but as you can see I am trying to be on my best behaviour in this thread).

Maybe it is because you insinuated Trump is female. He, his lackeys, or his aspiring lackeys would probably feel better if you'd used Governer Ratcliffe as the obvious equivalent. Both are obese, racist, and obsessed with gold. But then you lose cleverness points for picking two characters from the same Disney movie.

If only I could even remember why I had picked Cruella! I will visit my local café and see if they have madeleines.

Hilarious! Great review

Manny, and this is wht weekends were made for. Thank you.

Thank you, Susan and Marianne. And no puppies were harmed in making this review.
