They’re probably not doing it just because, my guess is that it’s to appeal to the fasci- I mean- conservative government heading the US right now. And yes, I am aware that they are probably going to restrict more stuff as time goes on if they’re unimpeded. I’m just looking for a solid motive

    Wow this literally could not be any more of a bad faith take.

    🙄

    The entire article is bullshit, pretending that it’s about something it’s not. Just don’t give graphic, sexually explicit books to children. Why is that so hard for you guys?

        I’m sure you can google the books that were “banned” (though not really banned, just removed from school libraries as they were highly inappropriate). Just like they don’t put playboy magazines in schools, they’re not “banned” they’re just not in school libraries.

          See here’s the thing, it’s not my job to prove your argument correct. So if you aren’t going to take the time to defend your own point, why should I take the time to do it for you?

          No titles to prove these books were inapropriate? Then stop posting and stop lying that these removals and bans aren’t just targeted attempts at censoring authors writing about non-cis non-het non-white topics.

            You don’t have to prove my argument correct, but I don’t care if you don’t want to look it up. These books and pictures of them were everywhere for weeks/months, and politicians and parents etc were told to stop reading and showing images from them because they were too graphic when they were appealing to get them removed in parliament and in school meetings lol.

            I dare say you already know the books and graphic illustrations that I’m talking about anyway.
