9:30am: bad press, you say?

"Lost in a lot of the hullabaloo is the disability angle and the fact that feminist and female sexuality books were also deranked. This was intentional. I would go so far as to say it was mistaken and probably a committee decision of surpassing corporate blindness, but do not insult my intelligence and tell me it was a “glitch”. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being a hit job by a hate group, as tehdely theorizes–but still, Amazon has not become a huge company by taking weirdo fundies seriously, even weirdo fundies with agendas."
