    Has anyone here seen this version? Does graphic novelization mean it’s graphic as in nsfw? The unedited diary does have a lot of sexual content. If it’s just a different version of the book though, that’s way overreacting.

        She is fairly scientific in her descriptions. Doesn’t seem like a problem to me. Any health class should be covering this anyways.

        She would have been mortified to know that this was going to be published for all the world to see in the future!

      As far as I understand it, no.

      I would assume the accusation and headline would be much different if there was any kind of direct link to support a claim involving Jewry, CSAM, and public grooming.

      Edit: grammar

            Then I’m further confused as to why it’s listed along-side child porn and child grooming?

              The Diary of Anne Frank was written by a Jewish girl during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.

              There are unabridged entries in her diary in which she wrote about going through puberty and made certain specific observations about her maturing body.

              OP made reference to these entries and wondered if they happened to be in this adaption:

              Has anyone here seen this version? Does graphic novelization mean it’s graphic as in nsfw? The unedited diary does have a lot of sexual content.

              Hence my reply.

              If these were included in the adaption, there would be accusations of CSAM (graphical depictions of an underage girl exploring her body), public grooming (teaching kids that this is acceptable), and it would be aimed pointedly at Jewry (the Jewish people).

              Edit: grammar

        I think this user was misinterpreted (as I misinterpreted it myself, originally). They’re claiming that the outcry, should legitimate issues be present, would have a different wording.
