It's hilarious how much Willy Wonka didn't give a f***k about those annoying-ass kids

willy wonka was just hh holmes with a candy factory. he was probably eager to give the factory to charlie after testing him so noone investigates the factory and finds all the dead agents, kids, and oompa loompas either buried under the factory or possibly mixed in the candy

They say the author Roald Dahl really hated kids … look at the article …


… and he also hated black people side note the Umpa Loompas were originally black

Well, this thread just took an unexpected turn:huhldup:

In the version first published, [the Oompa-Loompas were] a tribe of 3,000 amiable black pygmies who have been imported by Mr. Willy Wonka from ‘the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had been before.’ Mr. Wonka keeps them in the factory, where they have replaced the sacked white workers. Wonka’s little slaves are delighted with their new circumstances, and particularly with their diet of chocolate. Before they lived on green caterpillars, beetles, eucalyptus leaves, ‘and the bark of the bong-bong tree.'

:francis:

with a lot of old writers its best to assume theyre racist of jump unless proven otherwise.

This was written like 50 years after children stories were still about witches boiling them in a pot and chopping their whole shyt up. Getting eaten by wolves and hobgoblins and such. So no surprise he was hard on kids.

this is also true. i thought that the movie witches was supposed to have a happy ending with the kid turning normal in the end, but dahl was pissed when that happened. he really wanted that pinnochio with the donkey kids ending
