Censorship
is something that's been on my mind lately knowing someone whose book was
banned from Amazon for having a rape scene in it and then today's events
regarding censorship. Don't make the mistake of thinking that I think
rape is OK or a woman's fault because I don't but it is a real thing, it
happens all of the time. According to research I've done a woman can
become aroused during rape, experience lubrication, and even orgasm. The
book in question did not glorify rape in any way. This is of particular
concern to me because I have three eBooks in the works that have rape scenes in
them. according to what I researched on the Amazon publishing forums
Amazon has issues with incest, sex with or among minors, sex with animals
(aliens and creatures of myth don't count as animals), sex with dead people
(although the "un"-dead are usually ok), rape, scat, breath play, and
blood sports. The issue here is rape. The thing is as disgusting
as some of these things are they still happen and banning any book that
contains them is still censorship.
