I must agree. The most important thing for a writer would be the audience: "For whom am I writing" It may be very well the case, what he was writing was not correct for the audience targeted by the editorial.

The generalisation "americans" is twofold wrong: first, I do not think that the whole US editorial market is exactly the same. Pretty sure there is place for pornographic writing. But second, especially coming from a writer, he should say "northamerican". May sound pedantic, but we are talking about people influential in cultural scene.

Yeah but why is it "not correct" for the targeted audience? According to the author, prudishness.
