oh fandom...

I understand losing pornish_pixies is a blow, but jeez, approximately 35 fannish/literary comms suspended is really not the frakking apocalypse.

Here's a list

Oh, and check out a far bigger list of suspended accounts Here. If you can stomach it. When SixApart's CEO says that the accounts deleted in error are a small minority, he's not exaggerating. Look at those names -- the sicko whackjobs weren't even trying to hide. There are over 400 journals and comms on that list. Sure a few are fannish and a few are obviously fetish comms, but the majority are not. Some of them have lovely names like: yngrlluvr, pedogoal, and mall-stalker. oh and the ever-popular: naziparty comm. Good fucking riddance.

And if you were dumb enough to name your fannish comm "boysfuckingboys" or put pedophilia, incest, and rape in your interests, well, I gotta say, it's just pure luck that you weren't hit by this before.

LJ's covering their ass, and a handful of unwise journals got in the way. The End.

ETA: I think, in order to protest, nobody should sign silly online petitions. No. We should all be writing PORN!

Yes, LOTS AND LOTS OF PORN! That would be the best protest EVER!!!

Slippery slope! Slippery slope! The sky is falling!

...there. now that the reactionary commentary is out of the way.

Dude. Why are you not writing me fic? *flees for the hills*

Porn is a good protest. What annoys me is not so much the purge itself but the way it was handled and the group who encouraged it's response...."oh, don't blame us for the accidentals! that was allll LJ!" and taunting fandom journals...

But, yeah, boysfuckingboys was probably not a good choice in naming.

Sing it, sister! :D

You know, I can't imagine why anyone would think putting "pedophilia" or "incest" in their interests would be a good thing. "Surviving incest" I could see, but just plain ol' "incest?" O_o
