I just finished reading Fanny Hill: Memoirs of A Woman of Pleasure, and I was reading some of the reviews to see what other people thought of it. There was a reviewer who gave it one star out of five and explained that they were expecting a Victorian romance, but OMG IT WAS FULL OF WAS TEH GRAPHIC SEX THEY SHOULD BAN THIS BOOK I'MSOOFFENDED!!! I think I strained some muscles rolling my eyes too hard.
Books are just way too advanced and dangerous for idiots to handle. Maybe they should have generic warnings for idiots, in the same way that you can sometimes find "not for internal use" printed on bottles of shampoo. I mean, we could expect people to be sensible and wait for natural selection to do its thing, but it would be a really painful process, for all of us.
