I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

    To be fair. That does sound like 1984 described by someone who has never read 1984 but keeps bringing it up like they have.

      It really is made better by having actually read 1984. (Like, it’s not that difficult a novel? Medium sized, was comprehensible to me when I was in middle school. I can get pretending to have read/understood like Derrida or something - I do that all of the time - but seriously, it’s a novel that we ask high schoolers to tackle.)
