"is acting in a way that I find ethical."

"But I do find it to be distasteful."

"hold these companies to a higher standard"

Quotes from your comment. Are you aware the title of the book is "How To Rape A Straight Guy"? I mean the book could be about bunnies and rainbows and cuddly kittens, but if I owned a business I am not sure I would want to sell a product that seemed to advocate an illegal, unethical and (universally deemed) immoral act, even if it did not and the title was just for shock value.



Yes, I am. I don't consider it wrong to discuss any particular topic.

And, while I haven't read into this particular book, the author says that the title is simply a troll. More investigation would be needed from either side to determine if the book is any good or not, but I don't really care if it is or not.

As the author points out, Amazon already caries a litany of materials that describe and depict other immoral acts in graphic detail, including rape.
