    you’re the one arguing to show kids explicit sex scenes man. Dunno why you think I’m the weird one here. I’ve been trying to tell you to fuckoff for awhile now. Thankyou for finally doing so.

      You’re coming out of this looking like an absolute clown. I hope you don’t have kids- and if you do, I’m sure you’ll soon be wondering why they resent you.

      explicit sex scenes? porn? brother, it’s text on a page. in the MIDDLE of a thick-ass book. good lord dude, if a kid is old enough to make it to the sex scenes and have followed it that far and understand it, they’re probably old enough to handle it. it’s not porn. full stop.

        that’s absolutely a “you” opinion.

        What’s explicit to you vs explicit to most people is very different. And that’s cool, if you think it’s fine and your kid can handle it, you do you boo. Most people, like the overwhelming majority of readers of that book would define it as erotic and pornographic.

        But thinking “bah, that’s not explicit, I know what’s explicit for everyone” is just peak entitlement. You don’t get the make the rules for everyone else. I don’t get to make the rules. That’s the point, it’s a public school, it has what the public agrees on. And the public, mostly agrees that those books are not appropriate for children. Full stop.
