Just found this issue when trying to figure out why the wgtunnel app wasn't on F-Droid. I found it interesting and I thought maybe you guys would too.

I'm surprised.

Noone at my work would blink if they found me carrying, I don't know, some Clive Barker book.

Most of that kind of content can be found on newspapers now, the state of the world being what it is, and where I work noone I think would object to me reading about that stuff (as long as I don't do it on the company's dime).

And I live in Germany which, I hear all the time from across the pond, has all kinds of free speech issues.

Again, I'm not saying I'd let my son read the bible.

Yeah, no one at my work would care as long as you're not making it weird, I think before I got here people were probably reading 59 shades of grey or other "spicy" books.

I think it's hypocritical to call some books as not appropriate for school or work while allowing religious texts that have that in it.
