HOLY CRAP, YOU GUYS.

It appears that lj is busy suspending both communities and individual user accounts (although maybe just RPG journals thus far) which have "incest," and possibly any "pedophilia"-related interests listed. (I'm not sure about the last part.)

Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] darkrosetiger:

Here's a link on some of what's going on.

I'm honestly not clear here myself what IS going on. (Other than a sudden witchhunt!) But as a preventive measure, I'd personally STRONGLY recommend that everyone remove "incest" from their interests list, if you have it listed FOR ANY REASON.

Also, remove anything like:

-"chan"
-"shota"
-"lolicon"

(And possibly "lolita" - apparently a BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP has been suspended.)

And just in case, I'd also throw in:

-"ageplay" (at least one ageplay community has also been suspended)
-"pedophilia" (even if your interest is academic!)
-Anything else you can think of which might be targeted by nuts on a warpath.

Because yeah, some site called "Warriors for Innocence," is rumoured to be behind this somehow. (I'm not linking because it seems their server tracks where people are linked from, allowing them to track links back to their source, and they've shown up in other people's journals when mentioned.)

Now, "WFI" is claiming innocence (here), but I think it's an awfully big coincidence if they are.

According to their own site, they consider lj interests, "child sex, pedo love, child molestation, child porn, boys in panties, daddy [sic] little girl," to be, "advocating adult-child sex and rape." [Emphasis mine.]

More links:

-A partial listing of suspended comms and journals.

(Note that lj has apparently also suspended journals listing "bestiality"-related interests. I may be especially paranoid here...but the FURRIES on my list might want to remove some interests as well.)

-The discussion on the [livejournal.com profile] fandom_lawyers community.


I just don't fucking BELIEVE this. WTF.

And people wonder why I moved off of LJ. >_>.

I'm in love with your House icons. I wants. >___>.

The season finale left me scratching my head about how they're going to open up the next season. I'm sure it did that to many people.

Y'know, I REALLY do not want to. Lj's bigger, nearly all of my online friends are here (and I seriously doubt most are going to move), etc. But I mean, if I HAVE to, I will. I did set up an account on GreatestJournal way back when, just in case I need to move. I suppose I should start backing up my entries there, just in case.

Who are you on GJ, by the way?

I'm in love with your House icons. I wants. >___>.

[livejournal.com profile] houseicons! It's where I get basically all of mine. I have ONE House icon uploaded right now that I made myself.

I mean, I basically had no photo/picture editing program on my computer WHATSOEVER until just recently. (Hell, even Paint died on us and we couldn't open it.) But some guy who has a crush on my sister revamped our comp, gave us the newest version of XP, and we have Photoshop CS. Whoo-hoo. So I might make more eventually.

But I'm pretty lazy, so yeah...[livejournal.com profile] houseicons.

The season finale left me scratching my head about how they're going to open up the next season. I'm sure it did that to many people.

It left me wondering, that's for sure. I mean, as far as I'm aware, none of the actors are actually leaving the show. It would be pathetic to have them all change their minds or whatever and end up House's fellows again.

My guess is they're just going to be hired back as his "team," but not as "fellows," i.e. they don't HAVE to be ordered around by him.

That may or may not be interesting.

Yeah... "What?" I think is pretty much the overall reaction here.

Followed by fits of rage.

chan?

I'm out of the loop, apparently.

I don't even know what shota is, and I have to guess at lolicon.

..

oh, don't worry. I'll wiki. no need to explain.
