Alrighty, kids.

LJ Abuse is currently threatening certain users with suspension for using breastfeeding icons as their default icon.

What say you, Booju? Should default nursing icons be deemed inappropriate?

Could you be more specific? Like ones with text or nipple exposure?

It's natural for pete's sake. It's not like it is being displayed in a sexual manner. This is why some people don't want to breastfeed because people make it sexual. Bah. (that is of nursing pics anyways) I admit I took pics but I wouldn't post them in my journal because they are personal to me.

The text has never bothered me, although some of it is corny - it ain't like we all don't get a little corny sometimes, at any rate. Since breasts aren't sexual objects, I think it sucks. If we went around complaining about people feeding their kids bottles in LJ icons, we'd get a steaming pile of eye roll.

Apparently its only use as a default icon that is the problem. Guidelines are stricter for default icons.

Having said that, LiveJournal's rules for default user pictures are stricter than those for non-default user pictures, as the default user picture is viewable in a much wider range of situations, including ones where a user may not be expecting nudity or other possibly inappropriate content.

Taken out of the boob_nazi's thread...

So what is irritating about that is one, you can change your default picture at ANY time and any previous comments made with the default picture set change. I could have a random picture of a snatch as my icon at the click of a button (because I rarely change the picture I'm using). Secondly it doesn't take much of anything to see the non-default pictures, which is how I came across a male user with his penis and scrotum as an icon.

I have zero problem with breastfeeding icons. Even if they get glammed up and make it breastfeeding covered with glitter it does not bother me.

So, that being said. How about they try and ban cam whore girls staring into the camera and exposing their cleavage as icons. If they ban THOSE, then maybe we can talk. (OR! Crazy pro-life people who have their default icon as a dead fetus to try and guilt trip women into being pro-life as well.)

The internet is offensive. Get over it, I say. An icon of a baby nursing should not be offensive to anyone. It SHOULD be beautiful and loving. If people stopped trying to make every single thing about sex, we wouldn't have to censor ourselves for such minor things as *gasp* a nursing baby. If they don't want to look at it, don't! It's really very easy to just do a quick gaze over the icon and continue on.

i don't think they've tried to do anythong about cleavage shots, but people with images of dead children, holocaust victims, and aborted pre-born babies have been asked to remove such images as their default icons.

I can totally understand having a problem with default nursing icons... in cases where the nursee is a 73 year old, naked mexican wrestling midget riding a leather-clad, and stolen pony ((ignore me, i am sleep deprived and loopy from pain meds on top of that)) but, what the fuck?

I've never seen a nursing icon not done in good taste (no pun intended), and they're in no way inapproprite, ESPECIALLY in comparison to a lot of icons out there. This is sheer insanity! And what is not having them as the defualt icon going to do - they're still going to be used, they're still going to be seen.

If people have a problem with the icons, they can get image blockers and just not fucking look. I'm tempted to make one now and go plaster it everywhere. Guess I will refrain from going back to a paid account :/

I think it depends on the age of the person breastfeeding. If it's a baby feeding, then it's not sexual, but if it's an adult nursing fetish pic, then that would be inappropriate according to the lj rules.
