Instead of apologizing for letting something this disgustingly discriminatory happen, Amazon is crying "glitch!" and effectively blowing off taking any responsibility for this event.
Uh huh.
A "glitch."
And I'm the motherfucking Tooth Fairy.
This "glitch" has been going on for months. Its focused, specifically on anything that presents sexuality in a positive, progressive light. The autobiography of Ellen DeGeneres is delisted but A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality isn't. Books on sexuality and disability are gone, but the autobiography of Ron Jeremy is still up.
Glitch my fat ass.
Way to go Amazon. You could have apologized and agreed to fix it, but no, letting the people who have been excluded feel like they are worthwhile customers to you is just beyond your capabilities, isn't it?
Same Shit, Different Company.
When in doubt, deny, deny, deny. Even in the face of evidence.
But, really, everyone thinks we're this super progressive company so they'll all buy it! Right?
