I stop reading a lot of books for a lot of various reasons - trivial or otherwise. It's certainly not censorship to have personal preferences and limits to what fiction you wish to read. Nor to talk about why you dislike some things.

Exactly. I don't have to like or read everything that's ever written. Everyone has a right to personal preferences in their free time activities, otherwise we would already have a 1984 here and now.
Actually there are very few books I have stopped reading because I could not stomach their content. Mostly I stop reading because the book is just not interesting enough for me. And that's perfectly fine. There are far more books written than there are potential readers for them. So you have to choose anyway.
