Why are these issues always raised around sex when all manner of violence is ignored?

I don't think this is an overreaction, rather the result of an extremely lax screening process for self-pubbed titles which has reached critical mass. Kobo had to remove everything so they can effectively sift through the books and remove those that are in violation. Any lesser action on their part would've been seen and widely proclaimed as 'doing nothing' by the media.
