So, this is fun. While I'm pretty sure none of my interests would have gotten me into trouble, I've still gone ahead and deleted all of them in the name of solidarity. Well – almost all.



I do have all my old interests pasted in a sticky note on my computer, so if this all blows over by tonight, I can add them again in about three seconds. Here's hoping!

I don't think it'll blow over tonight, the Fandom Wankers have blown it all up and over the place. Though, it does appear that only Interests are being targeted right now, and everyone and their mother is adding "freedom of speech" as I type. *g*

Also, hi! Sorry, I stumbled here from your glorious post about why Gerard Way kicks ass, and I added you, hope you don't mind. :-)

Yeah, me neither, to be honest. UGH I HATE THIS WHOLE THING. :( :( [livejournal.com profile] pornish_pixies! I loved that comm!

Hi! I certainly don't mind, and it's nice to meet you! Yay, Gerard! Maybe I will go look at pictures of Gerard Way for a while and pretend fandom is not having a meltdown. That sounds like a plan. *g*

Ugh. Yeah, I saw that. I don't reckons it's genuine at all, I reckon it's some trolls who heard the rumour and decided to make it real to get a double-whammy of a) pissing off LJ abuse and b) freaking out all those crazy fanfic writers, and as many other people as possible, all the while not actually stopping and real paedophiles. I mean wow, getting your LJ suspended, THAT'S gonna stop you abusing children if you already do so.

Hmmm, I don't know, that was totally my first reaction – I figured it was some kind of grudge wank. But that blog makes me suspect fouler things afoot. People who think they're righteously pursuing child pornographers are not generally interested in gray areas, and they tend to get their way, if only because they shout the loudest. Vigilante justice, ugh ugh I hate it.

ALSO, WHAT YOU SAID. Thanks, Army of Righteousness, thanks for making it harder for pedophiles to keep diaries. wtffffff.

Vigilante justice, ugh ugh I hate it.

Me too. Except when it's in comic books! Because multicoloured spandex makes everything better.

OMG, I love your icon! What's the story behind that?

It's made from one of those Bayeux Tapestry macros that are floating around the internet. There are also ones of the Milkshake song and MC Hammer, all in comedy Ye Olde lingo.

Seriously, what the fucking shit? I just heard about this over on Liz's journal. Who the hell are these people? It all sounds spectacularly shady. Really, really hoping this doesn't go as bad as it sounds like it could.

*changes interests also in show of solidarity*

Ugh, it is just the worst. And all the hiatus-induced drama hasn't even gotten STARTED yet. Summer of Wank, here we come!

*pumps fist*

The phrase on your linked image there - "freedom of speech [Remove some]" - really describes the whole deal appallingly well...

So I had been following this "rumor" thing with vague interest.

And then I find elevnty posts about WfI and the suspensions/deletions.

I removed all but that on principle, even though the raciest thingson there besides names of mangas/semi famous peole were 'slash' and 'yaoi'.

Because what the fuck.

I hate vigilante justice.
