In other words, there was an angry mob of soy-crazed leftists who demanded it be pulled because "muh racist" and the publisher caved. Same fucking thing. STILL MEANS IT'S CANCELED.
The objection is that it was a stupid reason to stop the penning of the books, they should have just said that there was no demand and left it there. The books were not racist and we are tired of the racial bullshit.
Why, they get so much free press. Cancel culture is 90% media attention. Look at how much free publicity Hasbro got for mr potatohead. They didn't even take a political stance, just renamed a brand line and they were top news for a week. I wonder what impact it had on sales? All for the cost of a tweet.
If they don't want to publish the books anymore, they should release the copyright into public domain. This is why copyright should have a much shorter term, maybe 20-30 years max.
