Oh yeah. Banning books that lack any offense and have been a favorite of parents, teachers, and kids everywhere forever. That's what the good guys do.
People have been sending death threats to the authors too. How dare women write about girls and women!

It's so important that the USA fight back against the Christofascists, especially in November.
I just don't know why they hate Maas' books. I honestly don't know anything about them. They look like George RR Martin clones.
They have some steamy scenes that are more romantic than pornographic. They do offer a fantastical world with their own rules, poilitics, and dangers though and for that alone they get a lot of readers into the hobby.
