    Wow!!
    I can't believe even literary artists would pull this crap!
    How can stories of abuse and sex and all that other crap not be uncomfortable too? Let's just censor everything!

    Politicians? Yes.
    Writers? Come on!!

    Homosexual romance makes them uncomfortable, but tentacles and rape don't?

    And even if they didn't like gay romance (did they even try to find a judge that didn't care?) a mature critic should be able to look past their own biases.

    Also just for my own edification, does "young professionals" refer to underage hookers?
