    one of the books that were banned showed males sucking each other off.

    Which one is that?

        Ok so I looked it up and ended up skimming through the entire book - I wasn’t planning to, but I got carried away because it’s really good! Anyway, I’m not sure if I found what you were talking about. I thought maybe it was the scene on page 168, but that wasn’t two males (one was cis female and the other was non binary and AFAB), and it wasn’t both sucking each other off, it was one character wearing a strap-on over clothes and the other giving a blow job. Was there a different scene that I glossed over somewhere?

          Nope, but that guy doesn’t get outraged with the idea of kids being exposed to sex acts. They just get outraged specifically by the thought of them being exposed to gay sex acts.

            A 168 page book with depictions of blow jobs? Was this even in any schools or was it just banned to cause a fuss?

            Edit: mods removed the comment? Why? I don’t think the guy was wrong to be concerned about sexual content in books for children and I would have liked my question answered.

              It’s probably the mods on your instance (lemmy.ca) that removed the comment. I can still see it.

            you are arguing semantics

            I’m not arguing anything, just wanted to know if that was the scene you were talking about. Thanks for clearing it up.

            What matters is the depiction of one male giving fellatio to another male.

            Which doesn’t exist in the work you are talking about. The one performing fellatio is a girl, and the one receiving it was born female and identifies as non binary - they are wearing a strap on.
