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 ( ... )

I'm posting to all 3 journals for a while, until we know what's happeing with Scribblit and fandom_flies.
On an unrelated note, I can't stop throwing up. I haven't been at work for three days. I am not impressed with my body. There is nothing wrong, but it won't keep anything down.
