Here's something to look into, though it's not vidya. I was curious about new controversial books to read, so I did a basic search on the most censored books (in the USA). This lead me the yearly top 10 most challenged books lists by the American Literature Association. I would assume based on past experience with academia that the ALA is probably pozzed as fuck by now. Lo and behold, on the homepage alongside section for News, Featured Content, Featured Jobs | ALA JobLIST, ALA eLearning, is an entire section for pozz titled Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Note that it's
equity and not
equality. It (

>Core’s guide to zines in library collections
>Incorporating racial issues into storytimes
>Interpreting decolonization in academic libraries
Decolonization most likely being doublespeak for removing whitey books in favor of minority written books as it is often used this manner, against the old principles of the ALA. But I digress. What I'd like to bring attention to is the top 10 lists for most challenged books by year. According to their lists (
https://archive.is/ssVhQ ), starting in 2016 half or more of the those books most challenged, restricted and banned seem to be either contain pozz and/or are challenged for it. Before this, such books being the most challenged were in the minority, going by my rough estimates upon a cursory look at their top 10 lists for the past 20 years.

And you'll note that 2018 had 11 books listed. I see no explanation for this, it's severely unlikely there was a tie, and the 11th book is coincidentally pozzed. Before 2016, most challenges are on the basis of profanity, being unsuited to the age group they are aimed at in schools, sexual content, and at the bottom of that list in frequency, violence and occultism. Common repeat books in the list still include the likes of How To Kill a Mockingbird, Harry Potter, Of Mice and Men, but later years include a large number repeat entries for books challenged on their "LGBTQIA+ content" and the like. These include quite often pozzed entries and focusing mostly on recent years,
<George by Alex Gino
>Reasons: Challenged, banned, and restricted for LGBTQIA+ content, conflicting with a religious viewpoint, and not reflecting “the values of our community”
>Reasons: challenged, banned, restricted, and hidden to avoid controversy; for LGBTQIA+ content and a transgender character; because schools and libraries should not “put books in a child’s hand that require discussion”; for sexual references; and for conflicting with a religious viewpoint and “traditional family structure”
>Reasons: banned, challenged, and relocated because it was believed to encourage children to clear browser history and change their bodies using hormones, and for mentioning “dirty magazines,” describing male anatomy, “creating confusion,” and including a transgender character
>Written for elementary-age children, this Lambda Literary Award winner was challenged and banned because it includes a transgender child.
>Reasons: challenged because it includes a transgender child, and the “sexuality was not appropriate at elementary levels”
This book was in the top 10 for the past 5 years, and at the very top for the past 3. I cover it's reasons in more detail than the following entries because of it's anomalous height in this list in recent years, and it being aimed at
elementary schoolers. I term I rarely use outside lolicon hentai. Wew. I know it's well documented and known to everyone here that they've been pushing sex "education" younger and younger in order to indoctrinate more effectively and have greater access to children for pedos, but back in my day, the books challenged and banned for schools were being aimed at and disseminated to highschoolers on the final steps to adulthood and maturity,
not small god damned children who can barely wipe their asses properly.
<And Tango Makes Three, Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell
>Made the top 10, 9 times since 2006. Has made the very top 4 times, 3 consecutively from 2006-2008. Often challenged for depicting homosexuality.
<The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
>Made the top 10, 8 times since 2010. Often challenged for depicting offensive language, sexuality, racism, etc.
<I Am Jazz by Jessica Herthel and Jazz Jennings, illustrated by Shelagh McNicholas
>Made the top 10, 4 times since 2015. About a transgender child.
<Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan
>Made the top 10, 3 times since 2015. Is the 11th entry for 2018. Challenged for homosexuality. It's cover is a photo of two men kissing, hopefully adults pretending to look like teens and not actual teens.
<The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
>Made the top 10, 3 times since 2017. Challenged on profanity and being anti-cop.
This change in recent years can mean a couple things. At face value, attempted censorship of pozz has ramped up. Considering the harder faggots push their faggotry, the less tolerant people are of it, that's a pretty valid assumption. It's practically a given that once they move down from highschoolers to middleschoolers and then elementary kids with their propaganda they label "sex education", that more and more parents will object. On the other hand, this can be seen as an intentional over reporting of pozz censorship and ignoring of other censorship in order to make statistics fall in line with idea that they're super oppressed despite holding immense institutional power in recent years, considering the leanings of the organization in favor of pozz. It could be a combination of both.
What I wonder is, is LGBTQIAP+ shit
really the most challenged literature these years, when their side has the most power in institutions of education? It's possible, since any small attempt at challenging a book is listed, and historically most challenges are made by parents. However, the ALA itself states,
>The Top 10 lists are only a snapshot of book challenges. Surveys indicate that 82-97% of book challenges – documented requests to remove materials from schools or libraries – remain unreported and receive no media.
The number of challenges reported yearly in the 2000s was around 500+ a year, in the last decade about 350+ a year, and only 156 last year. With such low report numbers it wouldn't be hard to comb the US for reports of censorship and cherrypick fagshit to report to the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom. Going even further, it's probably not hard for the writers and publishers of pozz to essentially spam schools with attempts to include pozzed "sex education" books for 10 year olds in the libraries, easily resulting in a mass of complaints that will instantly skyrocket said books up to the top 10. This is useful to the fags not just because they'll succeed sometimes in reaching and indoctrinating youths, but the attention they receive for being a "a controversial book, one of the most censored in the US" is probably a huge a boon for sales of their books, meaning more money in their pocket to push their ideology with.

However, there's a potential weakness here. With such low reporting numbers, it's possible that if a group of people went around specifically searching for challenges, bans, and restrictions, and reporting them to the OIF, then more accurate statistics could easily defeat this recent trend, as well as strike a financial blow the advertising the ALA effectively provides to the books in its list.
