It boils down to this. You want to ban something you don’t like. There is clearly disagreement in this thread about whether the content you want to ban is inappropriate, and you dont seem to be anywhere near in the majority on that.
So if we went and banned everything in school libraries, public libraries, or whatever other space we are calling under the control of the public (loosely paraphrasing you) on the basis of extremely vocal minorities, then we will have very little left on those shelves. The least common denominator of things so inoffensive no one thought to ask for them to be removed.
If you think there should be a conversation about whether a particular book or book series is appropriate, and you want to submit your thoughts in the correct forum to help decide that one or another book shouldn’t be there, great. Participate in the process.
Here, though, you seem to have tried hijacking a post about a book on a very different topic and turning it into your own soapbox for railing against a book you declared to be smut.
You’re not changing minds in this Lemmy thread. You’re not making friends. What you are doing is making a lot or noise a out a topic you seem to be widely disagreed with on, and you seem to be badly reacting to it. Among other things, you repeatedly declare everyone who disagrees with some of the specific things youre declaring isn’t a parent. That’s rank horseshit. It makes me wonder how well you understand parenting yourself, if your solution to being disagreed with is to yell, flail, call people names, question their morality, and so on.
Take a breath, re-examine your reasons for thinking what you do, and remember to occasionally check reasonable scholarly authorities on what has been found to be harmful to children. Something may seem perfectly obviously harmful that actually isn’t harmful, its just distasteful to you and some others. That isn’t the same thing.
