    The difference is in the endorsement of horrible behaviour. So, if the same horrible things were encouraged in an LGBTQ+ book, I would expect it to get the same response as what the bible is getting.

      Endorsement? Or depictions?

      It’s historical fiction. The Bible predates religion: straight from the cult era. Christians, Muslims, and Jews are just dingle berries stuck to our cultural relics. These books belong to secular people. And since when are secular people using this stuff to promote rape?

      For that reason, plus being against such puritan attitudes toward content, is why I think censoring this stuff is bullshit.

      People are going to stoop to hyper literal interpretations of a NSFW label and ignore the subject of cens*rsh*p… Because religious people suck? I get it, but this is our shit. Fuck what they say or think about our fiction.
