In the recent past, Amazon gave the boot to a book that purported to be a guide to pedophilia (which produced a huge media fuss), a fiction book that included hetero pedophilia, several (but not all) books by an author whose work included fictional depictions of male homosexual rape, and now a handful of manga.
Amazon is well within its rights to pull pretty much any content at any time. People are also entitled to protest the pulling. However, specifically referring to it as either discriminatory or censorious is incorrect -- especially given how much of that kind of content is available and in no apparent danger of being pulled. Some people are just way too sensitive for their own (political) good.
