Have you got that article that isn't behind a pay wall?

Ah.
Well, it's Penguin RH kowtowing to the whiny and ... I'll behave.

When I see these warnings I compare them to the warnings on paper wrappers of hamburgers, telling the general public that the wrapper is not edible. How sad is it that instead of teaching people to read and evaluate the culture and context a story was written in, we warn them off so they never have to think about it?

At least the warning they are adding does tell the reader to consider that, instead of changing whatever the publisher finds offensive.
