Clay Jensen All you people are the epitome of political correctness and the 21st century mania of over-sensibility.
You don't have to take everything soooo seriou…moreAll you people are the epitome of political correctness and the 21st century mania of over-sensibility.
You don't have to take everything soooo seriously it's a fiction book. Are we to never talk of rape, kinky sex, domestic violence etc? It's part of life, some justify it some do not, but no matter what your "perfect" ethos suggests it's gonna be talked of and written, and drawn because it still is a part of reality. "Well I don't wanna read about it cause it makes me shudder and enrages me!" Good. Don't read it. I get it, you wanna relax after work and watch the Kardashians. Because that is the lifestyle that billions of people promote over reality.(less)
