Seriously, those "warriors of innocence" need to get a life.
This is about the "Warriors of Innocence"; a group that is going around the internet and "informing" people of pedophilia and other illegal actions toward children. Their main target on the internet has been Live Journal (LJ). Now, what they have done is looked at LJ communities and have informed the LJ staff against the violation of Terms of Services (TOS) but LJ has said they can't do much about it. Which leads up to the point where the "Warriors of Innocence" have labeled them as "Pedophilia Sypathizers".
They have been pestering LJ over and over again to the point that LJ has started to take down communities. Now, some of these communities are directed at pedophilia, and I am okay with those getting taken down. I am not okay with communities being taken down just because they may seem to be something. Things that have been taken down.
-Anime Role-Play (Yaoi/boys love/ normal)
-Slash fiction circles
-Anything seemingly sexual in nature
It has now started to turn into a "witch hunt" over here in LJ.
LiveJournal Caves to Pedophiles, posted on warriorsforinnocence.org on Friday, June 15, 2007
Backpedaling, flip flop, waffling, dodge, sidestep, about-face, give in, wimp out, ineffective…
Once again LiveJournal (LJ) is harboring admitted pedophiles. But this time it’s worse. LiveJournal had suspended many of these journals, but now they have backpedaled and decided to UN-suspend them.
I can understand the need to review journals that may have been suspended in error- but to cave in to pressure by pedophiles? That is inexcusable behavior.
What made them change their minds? Why did LiveJournal decide to cave in to pedophiles and child predators? What the hell are they thinking?
I’d like to know why LJ felt the need to UN-suspend sites like:

“its a group for ephebophiles or hebophiles, however you wanna spell it, if your attracted to teenagers, you should join this group. if you want to discuss adult-teen love - how it effects society, should it be legal? etc. , this is the group for you"
Hmmmm... did they mean Ephebophilia? Ephebophilia, also known as Phebophilia, Hebephilia, or Lolita Syndrome, has been defined as a sexual preference in which an adult is primarily or exclusively sexually attracted to pubescent adolescents. Adult-teen love- another name for pedophilia.

"It may be something that much of this country would honestly kill me over if they could, but nonetheless, childlove is starting to be something that I'm having an easy time accepting.”.... “I've fantasized a lot about a threesome with a certain mother and her four-year-old daughter."
So which part of fantasizing about raping a 4 year old didn’t LJ understand??
freakish989
He talks about an 8 year old girl sitting in his lap making him horny. He blames it on the 8 year old for squirming in his lap as he holds on to her butt. Oh, that’s right; he describes it as the 8 year old rubbing him sexually- once again, blaming it on the child.

LJ shut down his first site. Now he has a second site- same filth, different page. I’m wondering how LJ can question this being a pedophile when he says…“I'm an exclusive Girl Lover. My primary romantic and erotic attraction is to girls between the ages of two and fourteen years old. …the whole idea that my attraction to LGs includes "sexual" attraction, the whole idea that I can find 5-year-olds to be "hot", etc.”

“I think about incest, underage girls, little kids, abuse, humiliation, degredation... I fantasize about using and humiliating little girls, corrupting them and turning them into hot little whores.”

This guy talks about how “hot” it got between him and his 13 year old sister in law.

He's a pedophile who loves little boys. The scary part is that he works in a daycare and wants to adopt children- boys of course....
"Say what? I want a kid? you bet I do. I work in a daycare even! A daycare?! yup, clean background check....I love the boys. I get to give them hugs and tickle 'em. I do the same with the girls, they're all kids, and it's all fun. I just like the boys more."
You’d think that LJ would want to notify the police about this pedophile. He’s admitting to grooming children in the day care that he works at. For those of you who don’t know, grooming is the way a child predator prepares his victim for sexual assault or rape. Predators can spend weeks, months, or even years grooming their victims. They are calculating, manipulative, deceptive, and very patient when it comes to acquiring their goal.

He was arrested for soliciting a child on the internet for sex. Which part of that didn’t LJ recognize as being a child predator??
Then we have my-silent-war
He’s a known pedophile. He admits to it and even has a girllove symbol as his user picture…
"My name is Andrew. I am a paedophile. I am attracted to children: emotionally, socially and physically."
whirledtraveler
40 year old man who wants 14 year old girlfriends. He has a user picture of a young girl in underwear and titles it "lolita young 13 yo... Saturday night, wishing I had a lolita... it consumes my thoughts."
These are just a few of the journals that LJ has put back up online.
So once again, I have to ask LiveJournal, why are you allowing pedophiles and child predators to use your service to post about their attraction to children?
… retreat, submit, surrender, make concessions, pull back, weak, timid, indecisive, wishy-washy, weak-kneed, laughable…

"Everyone on the team is truly sorry for what we all went through, and we’re hoping to get back to our version of normal as soon as we can."
If their version of normal is allowing pedophiles and child predators free rein on their site, then they didn’t accomplish anything.

"we are now actively exploring how we can let the community "vote" on what is acceptable content in order to create greater consistency.... Clearly law takes precedent over such votes, but in case where the line is not legal content but rather objectionable or acceptable content, community input can be a great help."
Oh, what a fine idea- letting the community vote on what’s acceptable. Which communities would those be, the child predator communities? How about the pedophile communities?
Just for clarification, child rape stories are not illegal. They are disgusting and unethical, but not illegal. LiveJournal does not have to host such sites. They have a choice and they choose to do so.
So does that mean that the pedophiles get to vote to keep their sites up because they are part of the LJ community?
LiveJournal expressed a genuine desire to clean up their site. They wanted to remove adult-child sex stories from their pages. They said they wanted to edit and remove some inappropriate interest categories and prevent new users from using them in the future.
They said a lot of things. Actions speak much louder than words. Right now LiveJournal is acting irresponsible and unaccountable. They are backpedaling so fast that they can’t see what they are doing wrong. When the dust clears, LiveJournal will look the same as it did before this happened.
So again, I ask LiveJournal, why are you allowing pedophiles and child predators to use your service to post about their attraction to children?
