Thank you for your report. While the content in question is indeed offensive and in poor taste, it does not constitute a violation of the LiveJournal Terms of Service. The content posted is simply an opinion, and we allow the expression of a wide range of opinions on LiveJournal. As long as the content does not explicitly encourage violence or physical harm against a particular social minority, it is not considered hate speech.
If you have not already done so, we suggest you contact the maintainers of the community. As LiveJournal provides community maintainers the ability to delete unwanted entries and ban users from posting in the future, the Abuse Prevention Team does not generally intervene in such situations where there has not been a Terms of Service violation.
how digusting! and that's exactly what i was talking about in another post about this troll. hate is absolutely okay. fictional sex is not. i'm not even into fanfic or anime, but i find this reality pretty appalling.
Yeah, I know. Just because it isn't causing physical violence, it doesn't count?
This community is meant for support. We're vulnerable here, and we open up parts of ourselves that maybe we don't feel safe enough to reveal anywhere else. And if people can just come in here and post stuff like that, with the explicit (VERY explicit, in some of those pictures) intent of rattling us, that destroys our space.
I mod feminist_rage and we always catch shit for our safe-space rules, but this is why we have them. I understand that not everyone wants a safe space community - heck, I don't want to only be involved in safe-space communities. But this sort of thing is why we pretty much have to make those strict boundaries. It sucks.

I know my emotional safety was threatened.
