LJ have a response for us.
Some other things they said
in the commentsOK, that settles it. I, for one, do not want to be associated with a site that views pro-anorexia communities as something that fits within LJ's grand vision (despite them being in violation of the ToS, btw!), but deems two 17 yo boys having sex as 'obscene' and 'illegal'. Then

It bothers me so much that I fear the post may be deleted before I get a chance to read it all, and while there was a time a fear like that would strike me as paranoid, now it doesn't, in this environment.
Precisely. I don't want to be in a place where I'm forever backing everything up - not because of server crashes, but because the admins might take it upon themselves to delete it.

Not that I'm defending LJ, I think they were stupid to do this, but I can understand some of their points. HOWEVER, I vastly disagree with how they have gone about it. No warnings, and they target fandom and not shota? That 's so wrong. I don't get it. And I think enough people are making that case that they will back down. Hopefully.

The drawings they banned were also not illegal. In fact, LJ admits this. They'd just rather ban them as potentially not fitting their view of their ToS.
The reason they're not banning anything heterosexual is because no one has complained to them. They ADMIT that no one will complain to them. They ADMIT that this means that only gay and lesbian art in the grey areas they identified will end up being banned. This is a prime example of functional homophobia and discrimination - nothing in the ToS, but everything in the execution of it.
What do you think they'd say if I reported a rape fantasy group? Do you honestly think they'd do anything? Plenty of people have complained, but have been given the 'not our problem' line of bullshit.
I can understand some of their points. You know what the problem ( ... )

This thing is making me fucking sick. Sorry love, but I don't want to talk about it any more. I've made up my mind.
