The book you're throwing a hissy fit about seems to be about the author figuring out who they were and I assume the target audience is other adults who have been through the same thing or in the process of it and wanted to find something relatable.
You don't think libraries shouldn't carry anything that might make someone uncomfortable because kids might read it? The last book I checked out from the library had rape and incest and forced pregnancy of minors in it. Want we take that out too? Stephen King's IT ends with a child orgy. Let's remove him while we're at it. Maybe some kid heard about Game of Thrones and decides to check that out. More incest and graphic violence. Oh no, cancel George RR Martin please. -

Actually, my original question was why do books like that exist? What purpose do they serve?
Weird how both versions of IT adaptations left out that part. I wonder why? -

I already told you why it exists. Not everything is about you. Just because you allegedly don't want to read it doesn't mean everyone else in the world feels the same way. Since that book is getting so much attention I'm assuming it must have sold a decent amount so there probably was/is an audience for it. That's capitalism for you.
I don't understand what is the point of that horrible looking Bruce Springsteen biopic that's coming out this month. Just sitting the trailer for that piece of **** before every movie I've seen in the theater for the last 6 months annoys the hell out of me. Let's ban musician biopics because they're stupid. It makes slightly more sense than taking books out of libraries. -

No, you didn't. You were too busy having a circle jerk with the other libs and running from the topic at hand. It took 2 or so days for you to reply with something resembling an answer, so here we are.
Who is that audience? You keep claiming it's an "adult" book. Why would an adult want to read about fantacizing about having sex with a minor or masturbating? Is that normal adult behavior to you?
In one commonly cited panel, a 14-year-old Kobabe fantasizes about a scene in which an older man touches the penis of a youth. The illustration is based on a piece of painted ancient Greek pottery depicting a "courting scene."[25][2] Detractors have described this as a depiction of pedophilia.[26][27] Another illustration frequently cited by critics depicts Kobabe's girlfriend performing oral sex on Kobabe while Kobabe wears a strap-on dildo.[1][31][32] The book also includes depiction of masturbation.[25] The ACB found the book's "descriptions and depictions of sexual activity" as "an integral part of the story on the author's struggle to understanding gender identity and sexuality, and the sex is highly stylised and containing little or no realistic detail, as well as infrequent".[33] On the Plato's Symposium image, the ACB noted that it was "highly stylised" and no sexual activity is depicted "in a detailed or realistic manner, and it is not possible to determine the age of the two male figures in the image", noting "the most that can accurately be said is that the panel contains a depiction of an older-looking male and a younger-looking male".[33]
Or… is it actually aimed towards minors? -

No, you didn't.
Yes they did, **** for brains. Here is the quote:

Why do books like this exist?
Why even bother to ask?
You have obviously done your homework…
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

There's always someone saying "If Democrats would just cave on [guns, abortion, racial stuff, gays, taxes, green energy, trans stuff, Ukraine, Israel, etc] they'd never lose again." Which I guess is kind of true because if both parties run the entire Republican platform there really isn't a loser in the race. It's still completely stupid.
5 minutes later you'd find something else to cry about anyway when you're told it's a cataclysmic that you Western civilization. Hell, the biggest and most divisive issue - abortion - was completely rebranded as a religion thing by Jerry Falwell in the 70's. He openly admitted he did it to give him leverage in conservative politics. They've been using that same script for 50 years now and you people keep falling for it. -

Lol, look at Uncreative, he's so determined to sexualize children all so he can avoid looking like he agrees with the right on anything. He's gross.

None of this has anything to do with children. You're whining about a book written by an adult for other adults in the adults section of a library. Even the author says it's not for kids. Which is why isn't not in their section.
Everything I've said here is an easily verified fact while you guys just keep going on and on about how it makes you feel.
