Oh NO! Great Gatsby

[GoodTaste]

Does "NO!" here mean an exclamation that strongly rejects the novel Great Gatsby?

Oh NO! Great Gatsby contains “sexual references”. Shield my eyes! Save me, oh protect my poor fragile little cowering self from Catch-22. Burn the Books!

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Yes, but he's being ironic. The rest of the quote makes clear that Dawkins is making fun of people who recoil at Gatsby's sexual references.

He's probably mocking trigger warnings by showing his outrage that he wasn't warned. He's getting a bit overheated nowadays.

He isn't 'rejecting' the novel, no. He's pretending to be potentially offended by its sexual references.
