Was it really adults trying to prevent other adults from those materials, or trying to prevent minors from accessing adult materials? (I'll interpret downvotes without response as confirmation of the latter, and that people want minors accessing adult material.)

- pseudalopex 1y ago> Was it really adults trying to prevent other adults from those materials, or trying to prevent minors from accessing adult materials? This dichotomy is false. Many challenges were trying to prevent children and adolescents from accessing age appropriate materials. A number of challenges asserted the books were unsuitable for any age. Or called for the library to purge or destroy them.[1][2] > (I'll interpret downvotes without response as confirmation of the latter, and that people want minors accessing adult material.) Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.[3] Who did you think would be impressed by an announcement you would interpret down votes in bad faith?
