F**k You Warriors for Innocence!!

Since "I'm going straight to Hell, just like my mama said", might as well enjoy myself on the way down!

Yeah, this whole Strikethrough thing really, really sucks on eleventy million levels. I mean, seriously ... a Spanish-speaking community dedicated to the reading of Nabikov's Lolita has been killed. Yeah - G*d forbid anyone actually read one of the classics. And talk about it. People involved in rape and child abuse survivor groups are afraid of having their groups killed.

Some of my fandoms, and friends in fandoms are really worried - damn near freaking out - and this time, it's justifiable. And maybe I should just change any references to anything remotely sexual and/or slash-eous to "OMGWTFBBQ!!111!!!" and "Pwned" or something.

No officer, I'm not writing stories about (straight) men making out, among other things. Oh noooo. Never. I'm just a good Mormon girl. *adjusts rusty halo*

Yeah, this is all about The Children^TM and saving them from being exposed to Teh Evil on the Intarwebs! Dear Lord ... lock up your children and dust off the ... I don't know. Dust off the torches, I guess?

Whatever. Right now, to many people, this feels like the blogosphere version of the Salem Witch Trials, McCarthyism and the Meese Commision on Pornography rolled up into one huge debacle.

Oh no! Not the F-word! Alert the media.

Have you joined fandom_counts started today, and already has over 17k members. Something like that.

I sure did!

Thanks for reminding me of that - I'll have to post an entry about it. :-)

And I'm so gonna report you to the media for saying "fuck". ;-)

I haven't heard about this whole Warrior thing until today. What the hell are they trying to do?

Basically, they were going after any LJs that had "incest", "rape", or any other words that insinuated "underage" interests. Unfortunately, it was painted with a *huge* brush-stroke, so a lot of undeserving LJs and communities were suspended (see the Spanish "Lolita" reading group).

Apparently, LJ/SixApart is reviewing the suspended LJs, and planning to reinstate many of them. Of course, they're trying to be as apologetic as possible, hoping that this PR debacle can just blow over!
