I'm surprised "The Cremation of Sam McGee" was allowed. It deals with the death of a friend and presents a talking corpse. Sounds triggery to me.
What happened sounds in part like inflation of terminology. What happens in "The Highwayman" isn't rape, but some people hyperbolically use "rape" to describe any degree of sexual harassment. Taken at face value, this turns a great many classic works (and even more modern movies) into rape literature.
They're allowing Moby Dick? Did the bluenoses read the end of Chapter 10 and the start of Chapter 11? That's as close to a gay scene as Melville could have gotten away with in the 19th century.
