SixApart deleted one of the largest Harry Potter fanfic community on livejournal.

Honestly, child-sex is the exact reason I am not involved in the HP fandom. It upsets me. BUT, just because it upsets me doesn't mean it shouldn't be explored in literature. I am also reading Brave New World, which has child-sex and it makes me uncomfortable, yet it is viewed as a classic.

I completely see your point, which is why I am not writing the talking points for this. Though, my one clarification is when I say "child-sex" I literally mean two people of like age who both happen to be underage. Like two 15 year olds sleeping with each other.

I see your point, I do. And I actually kind of agree with you. BUT I think it was pointless for LJ to delete fandom journals, which started a public uproar which probably hide anyone that was actually doing anything illegal.

Er. I posted this yesterday. Before they made that post.

They were deleting fic communities. And RP journals.

I read VC Andrews...I love those books! Es. Flowers In the Attic (series)!

Anyway I just wanted to say that and that I agree that this is an out right violation of free speech.
