You’re not really playing devils advocate here because you’re asserting a questionable premise and asking a question based on that. First, you’d have to successfully argue that some or many or all of these books are inappropriate. Then you could ask whether or not it’s “draconian” to ban such content. Generally speaking it’s bad to ban books. If parents don’t want their kids reading certain materials than what they can do is what parents throughout history have done which is to parent their children. Some parent’s asinine moral panics over Grand Theft Auto shouldn’t result in the state banning Grand Theft Auto so that nobody can play it. It should result in them forbidding their children from playing it, not someone else’s.
