No, wait, what?! I just. I have no words. That is seriously messed up.
It reminds me of something that happened with a webcomic awhile back. The graphic used to denote it on the keenspace server page was of the two main characters (both male) kissing. The image was removed because it didn't "abide to a PG rating". Unlike, you know, the numerous heterosexual kisses shown on the same page. Utter crap.
I know! A book about gays in the military is somehow porn, but Playboy is just fine?
(Was that Friendly Hostility by the way? Or Boy Meets Boy?)
Some guy claimed he did it with some script he wrote, but that was debunked when it turned out the script was garbage. His post has been locked, but it was debunked here if you're interested, along with some other links too.
And full frontal feminism. Wow. (Which, yes, deals with sexuality. In a political, sociological way. Not a pornographic way. Oh, America.)
Yeah, it was Friendly Hostility. Apparently the sight of Fox and Collin engaging in a chaste peck on the lips would be just TOO MUCH for the sensibilities of those reading webcomics. Bah. Bah, I say.
Thanks for the link. I was sad I couldn't read the entry.
Urgh. Strangely, before I got home to check this site today, a lot of signs and posters were hung around campus to try and stop hate crimes.
What I can't understand is why Amazon would do this. They're probably losing tons of money now. Makes no sense to me, and certainly not good business sense. It's never a good idea to alienate customers, even over a controversial topic like homosexuality.
Maybe they were banking on the fact that the vast majority of their customer base wouldn't even know it was happening, and that of those that did, only a small percentage would actually boycott them. Still, this is making it to the major news outlets, so hopefully this will get wider recognition.
