Perhaps not now, but it may well discourage new creators from creating content on controversial topics, from fear of some group or another taking offense and starting a witch hunt. The end result would be stagnation of publicly available literature/movies/music etc. Of course underground alternatives would then appear and start to circulate. Now what does this remind me of? Yep, the Soviet times. Censure, fear of saying what you really think out loud, punishment for any deviation from the party line.
No, we're not there yet, not by a long shot. But we might be some day.
