Re: Horrors! The 7 poster!

I think you're making some good points. Though I've discovered usually more than three paragraphs of text and people's heads implode from information overload.

I'm agreeing with you here, though. When I was a mod at Y! I read some pretty disturbing journals that hinted some users with regular contact with kids were getting ideas from the art that they saw there, as well as knowing people that used such art to prove they were "perfectly normal". There's plenty of sane shota fans out there. They wouldn't touch a real boy and some are even really squicked by actual kids. It's those crazy ones that get paranoid mothers all freaked out.

In Canada it's illegal to have even drawn porn with minors. In the US, artwork can't intentionally resemble an existing child.

On a website level, I hate the way the thing is being handled, by both users and administration. It's the right decision for them to make though, legally, and they only did it after some intense pressure was put on them by over-protective mothers.

I actually feel really sorry for you, though, that you can't share an opinion with your friends and have them respect it. Which I believe was the actual point to the secret, and not the rest of the crazy crap that ensued. I have a few friends that I disagree with on the matter, and I've never given them a hard time about it nor them me. I really need to appreciate them more for that.

That was the actual point of it. I was sick of people making "BYE LOSERS!" posts in their LJs and calling anyone who wanted to stay lazy and stupid. Maybe I'm "lazy" because I don't feel like shifting all of my journal entries over to GreatestJournal or some other blogsite, but I've been a member of LJ for seven years and I've got a paid account. I'm not about to leave because someone's crying over their loss of porn.

Ahhhh. I see.

I'm half expecting GreatestJournal to implode or something from the giant influx.

I've been cracking up that everyone is migrating to GreatestJournal. I used to play in a few RPGs over there and um, it crashes. Constantly. They only reason we used it for games was the unlimited icons.

Re: Horrors! The 7 poster!

[glazedmacguffin]

Yeah, I've done RPing there too and it kind of is crap for crashing. Though I do like the unlimited icons thing. I sort of wish you could just buy the icons on LJ without having a paid account, but that's a whole other pile of complaint on itself.
