I do see you your point. And I don't disagree. I also don't think that this graphic novel is offensive - it looks interesting, well written and well drawn. It is certainly art, not porn.
However I can't see how Apple can curate for quality without also curating for taste. To run a store like this no doubt means employing hundreds of young testers and a bunch of draconian policies. To get them to understand the subtlety between art and porn (or good porn and bad porn) is no doubt asking too much. To do it in a way that will not enrage prudes, governments, religious types, anyone who wants to bash Apple for any other reason etc is something else entirely.
To set up a good 18+ store in this way will be nigh-on impossible without either dropping all rules (and therefore all quality) or risking the wrath of the moral majority.
Having the occasional piece of genuine art rejected to walk this fine line is no doubt seen as a reasonable compromise.
I hope that Apple can fix this - but I'm not sure they will be able.
