But harenchibox isn't fanwork or even connected to fandom really at all...I'm really just talking about fandom. Of course we have a social responsibility to restrict objectionable material (where it is rated as such). And yeah, I agree... books sure as fuck don't come with warnings. Meh, I can rent pr0n or whatever but I've never bothered *shrugs* maybe one day, just to see what it's like.
Yeah America bans books like mad although I'm not too sure on book-burning in the Western world >.> I don't think it's common, at all. Actually, most countries ban books, but it takes pretty damn nasty content. And I mean nasty. I really doubt they are from that sort of environment, personally. If they were I think they'd be more for making it a real statement of principle (if it was me I'd make a real statement of principle towards freedom of speech & accessibility -.-;;), but if they're so uber worried with being connected to their work they sure as hell wouldn't post public entries around the place. Shrugs.
