My only guess would be the sex that takes place between Billy Pilgrim and Montana Wildhack while on display in the Tralfamadoran "zoo." But there's no description of any kind concerning that particular carnal act(s)—other than the fact that you are made aware that sex was had while aliens were watching.
As far as violence goes... well a big part of the overall point of the book is to expose the atrocities of war, so... yeah.  |
The Sierra-created Laura Bow 2 (DAGGER OF AMON RA!!) game was more explicit than
that.
OK, raise your hand if you think the "age-appropriateness" is a smoke screen for "My Religion Doesn't Like It". I'm just curious.

I am.
Not that I'm disagreeing, but it's a fun fact that there are a lot of liberal pockets in the southern states, particularly in big cities and college towns. It's one of the reason why I find these "community standards" decisions noxious -- I do NOT believe that 100% of the community wanted this book removed, but rather I believe that the most vocal part of the community wanted it removed and the liberal members of the community has to choose when to fight their fights and when to withdraw.
(See also the people in the thread saying "Well, at least the kids will read it now..." That sort of thing. You can only join so many school boards in your free time, ya know?)
