penknife: We has invisible rules - It still appears that LJ considers some non-photographic images to be child porn. // No mention of the policy on text. -
- caras_galadhon: Fandom Migratory Patterns: What Happens When the Birds Don't Come Back? - It is one thing to prefer a new service. It is another thing to say, in full view of those that you've left behind, how much happier you are for having left them behind. -
- imaginarycircus: Open Letter to LiveJournal/Six ApartPlease sign this post if you were insulted or are upset by LJ/SA's repeated conflation of the terms "possibly obscene explicit under 18 fan art" and "child pornography."
- bad_wolf_bitch: [in innocence_jihad] WARNING! THIS POST LINKS TO GRAPHIC CONTENT - Ladies and gents, LJ wants to know why we don't take them seriously? Because they have their panties in a twist over a graphic of fictional characters, while they continue to host these posts, sites, graphics and communities. -
- my_daroga: uncooked thoughts on this LJ business - can we fight against censorship and also decide that we don't support certain forms of pornography? Why can't we say, "This should not be forbidden, but neither do I find stories of sex between adults and pre-adolescents acceptable in my space"? -
- legionseagle: Oh God. Another one. - If being a turn-on to women makes something by definition pornography, oughtn't we - as fans - be banding together to offfer political asylum (to say nothing of the frail shield offered by our weak and feeble bodies) to the likes of Rufus Sewell, John Sim -
- imaginarycircus: correspondence take 2I took [info]anildash up on his offer to talk to me via email. I had a few questions for him.
- cluegirl: Giving recognition where it is due. - It does appear that they are at least willing to make more than mouth music about their new guidlines and procedures. It also appears that they are quite ready to consider linked artwork as within the scope of their dragnet. -
- vikingcarrot: Right, going public with this anyway. - About 12 hours ago I received a strike from LJ Abuse demanding I take down a locked post from (you guessed it) pornish_pixies for child pornography. -
- telesilla: art vs child porn and why fandom needs to stand with our artists - So if in the end, LJ says "art bad/fic okay" that sucks. Because if they telling us that a drawing of two people having sex is the same as a photograph involving real children in sexual situations, they're insulting our artists and fandom itself. -

- serenanna: Of Sex, Innocence, and LJ - What I keep trying wrap my head around why this assumption about speech and creative works is made, that to write or to draw it is the same as actually doing it. -
- fictualities: Does Six Apart want to become Fanlib? - I wonder if Six Apart's business plan is to attempt what Fanlib attempted...Fanlib couldn't offer fan writers anything they couldn't get right here on LJ. Six Apart wouldn't have this problem of reduplicating an existing service. They ARE the existing service. -
- ithiliana: *offers tea and cookies* - Reporting 6A/LJ for crappy customer service will probably not mean the end of all fandom as we know it, nor will it be the first time that mundanes out there realize that fandom produces slashy stories and fan art and in some fandoms that means about adol -
- davidpv: [in thisthingwedo] Internalised Homophobia and slash writers - Let's be clear, we're not talking about individuals who jump gay men coming out of bars, or even politicians who seek to criminalize sodomy. What leebenoit mentioned was internalized homophobia, an entirely different animal. -
- telesilla: silly fan artistsIf they wanted their work to remain on LJ they should be drawing Snape cutting Harry's head off with a knife.
- morgandawn: Ode To Vid Shows And Fan-Run Conventions- Part 1 - after watching Vividcon host three days of vid shows over the past five years involving hundreds of vidders - and doing it very well with only a few snafus, I, as the Bascon vid show playlist DVD person, promise you this -
- musesfool: still trying to change this mold - In looking at it, I don't think the vid is saying, "This show we love is anti-women," so much as it is saying, "Look at how endemic sexualized violence towards women is in our society -
