It is unfortunate that we live in an age where "perceptions" are so widely skewed. I still can not understand how an "adult" can see one thing as perfectly normal and the other as wrong. To me it is a double standard. Unfortunately, you are forced to play by the rules that people much more powerful than you and I are, set. To keep doing the great work you do and earn a living from it, you will have to play by those rules. Having said that, do not let this setback stop your creativity and vision for the stories you write. I can tell you that those tiny changes will not even be noticed. Anyone beyond that who thinks otherwise, needs to look at themselves in a mirror and ask themselves who the "real" problem is.
