Ehm, Peter Rabbit is fucking based? 👀
When these were originally written, they were considered fairly standard.

I grew up on "Beatrix Potter" and I'm pretty firmly convinced its antisemitic. The only question is, was it deliberately sneaking stuff past the filter, or was it "accidentally antisemitic" in the same way JK Rowling's goblins are, e.g. "You weren't noticing kikes, but your brain was".
