> My recommendation of **transgressive literature** to him was to make a point about words and their power. Words are just words. This is a crucial concept for people to understand. Especially in a world where thousands of people are being _murdered_ in the name of a book - and in previous decades and centuries, _millions_ of people have been murdered in the name of various books.

And to do this you thought Curtis, a _child,_ had to read about ( **WARNING POSSIBLE TRIGGERS** ) and eleven-year-old who “assumes the “bottom” role in these sex acts, either fellating the men, licking their anuses, or stroking their testicles”, who joins in the organized rape of women, and probably all kinds of other stuff that I don’t know about because I can’t make myself read any more of the Wiki page?

You used the Dope to push this stuff on a kid. And a mod knew about it and did nothing. Christ on a cracker. What a den of sexual predators this board is turning into.
