Well, that's it then
I'm disappointed, but not surprised.
LJ has spoken, again, and their response is woefully inadequate. Sure, now they'll give a warning - and look! elaboration is back, and I'm very pleased for her. ponderosa121 is still gone, but by her own choice, just for the record.
But Elaboration's pic of Fred and George, who are 20 years old and not children is still considered a strike against her. Nice.
Not only that, but despite the fact that the consequences are now not entirely the same between actual photographs of real children being hurt, and artworks and fanfiction of fictional characters who can't possibly BE hurt no matter what you do to them, they are somehow still pretty much the same to LJ staff.
Those still saying "Well... I'm not into shota, it doesn't affect me", pay attention to this thought: fic about Buffy and Angel can get you banned.
That's canon. They had sex on national television, but here it's obscenity and not wanted.
WTF, LJ. WTF.
LJ has the right to make any rules they like, but I don't have to stay here and live with them.
I'm enjoying Insanejournal very much, and it's becoming very comfortable. I'll be staying there. Those on my flist who won't be moving, I'm sorry, once I've finished moving my links over and locking this journal down, I won't be reading my flist anymore. For those I absolutely need to keep up with, I'll be creating feeds on Insanejournal so I can continue to follow you. If you do come over to IJ, please say hello! As I said before, I'm "chichirinoda" (no underscores) over there.
It's a bit freeing, actually. IJ is all shiny and new. The communities are small, and just starting up, and there's a feeling of hope. All I feel on LJ these days is fear, anger and worry. I have enough of that in my life right now, anyway.
