Asking people to change their art is generally considered a negative thing.

What do you think I'm talking about with the statement about Walmart?

Some might say that the album cover is just as much a piece of art as the actual music. Would it be okay to put a parental advisory sticker on any other piece of art?

Wasn't the sticker on the out side of the shrink-wrap?

There's a big difference between refusing to comply with a distributor and losing access to their network, vs standing up to one of the largest trade groups in the country. In practice the RIAA probably has more clout with their record label than the artists themselves.
