My reading is very mood driven. Sometimes I'm only there to be distracted and entertained, sometimes for interest/curiosity, and sometimes I'm there to be challenged.
I rarely deliberately pick up a book that I think would make me uncomfortable, but discovering that it does would not necessarily make me put it down. If there is more to it, or there is good reason (as in your example), then I would normally keep reading. But some books seem only intent on shock value, or on manipulating the reader's emotions for the sake of it, and if that's what it seemed like to me then I would toss it.
