Who really cares what it's about?
If no one is getting hurt, then no one is getting hurt. If you don't like to read these types of fiction, don't read them. It's very simple. Or at least it should be.
We cannot simultaneously argue that "there is a line not to be crossed in fiction" and "censorship is bad." The mere act of defining that line IS censorship. When you say "Do not cross that line in your stories", you are implying that "if you do, you will be stopped."
I'm really tired of this oppressive authoritarian process of thought control and nanny-statism. If you don't like something, do not partake in it. If it hurts no one, there is no reason to ask the government to stop it.
And remember, right now, we have a candidate for president in the US who believes ANY pornography (and he counts books or works with pre-marital sex as pornography) is the line that shall not be crossed. I'm sorry, but I'm tired of living in a world where everything is taken away because someone is offended. This is NOT Fahrenheit 451, and should not be.
