[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, the hoops that some people will jump through to demonstrate their allegiance to those now in charge in Fairfax.  The sycophancy is almost as revolting as the obscenity. [/quote]

The books are fine.

The lies and misinformation you are pushing are not. 
[/quote]

The [b]books[/b] contain graphic images of oral sex.

That is simply not ok[/quote]

Which books contact “graphic images of oral sex”? Titles & authors.

Do you even know what we are discussing on this thread? [/quote]

Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe.  That is what we are discussing.  Are you sure you're aware of what we're discussing?  BC that books has drawings of oral sex and use of a strap-on.

And people are saying that those drawings are not pornographic; they are wrong

[/quote]

And what were the other [b]books[/b] you were referring to?

Please share your definition of “pornographic”… 
[/quote]

"I'll know it when I see it"  No, that's not my answer.

But its safe to say a drawing of genitals inside another person's mouth is pornographic.

Is your defense really that only 1 of the 2 books in question contained images?  So since a PP incorrectly pluralized the word book, it negates the whole argument?

DP. I don't think that "safe to say" at all. Depictions of sex, even clear ones, are not inherently pornographic. Pornography is designed to arouse, not merely depict. I haven't read the book in question, but I've read reviews of it and none of them sound like anyone was reading it to get aroused.[/quote]
