Protecting Fandom

[feeferj]

Now considering that some people may view Logan and Rogue's relationship as "innapropriate" due to age factors, and that some of us have written stories with themes that have been targeted- I figured I would post this here. DD if it pisses you off, apologies.

For those of you that don't know, Livejournal has lost it's damn mind. Here's a quick,

I understand the severity of what's going on right now, but I don't think this community would be targeted. I mean, so far it's been incest & pedophilia that they've been trying to purge, right?

Yep, but for some reason, there are people out there who consider Wolverine/Rogue to be a pedophilic relationship. At least, I know I've had arguments conversations with a number of people who have that mindset. Heck, I've even seen one or two people claim that a Wolverine/Rogue relationship would be "incestuous" because they obviously have such a close, father-daughter relationship. *rolls eyes* In any case, it's better to be safe than sorry, I suppose.

well those people need help. I thought pedophilia involved like, a kid. Did I miss the part where Rogue isn't a grown adult?

[fifmeister]

Exactly what I always point out. :p Yeah, movie!Rogue is on the youngish side, but it's not like she's in diapers. I guess that in some people's minds, a big age difference is the same thing as pedophilia.

Wow. LJ sure has one hell of a mess to clean up. Unbelievable.

If they ban coms for incest and chan, many of the fics I read and write could be suspect. And W/R moviverse is my fandom of choice.

You can argue all you want that movie Rogue is of age, someone is going to disagree.

It's happening in other fandoms, it can happen here too.

Just a head's up.

I was terrified that this comm would go down in that clusterfuck. Glad it didn't.
