Online Protest this Friday
We cannot allow these people to create a climate of fear. So I propose a small protest. This Friday, make an entry about something that these people would like to see censored. If you write fanfiction, post explicit fanfiction. If you're a survivor, and you are willing, write about what you survived, because no matter what these people claim, one of the results of their actions has been the silencing of people who are already too often silenced. If you know someone who was deleted, post some of their content. If all else fails, post passages from Lolita. Listen, we are the content providers here. We are the ones who bring people to Livejournal. If they delete us all, they lose. So let's stand in solidarity. And if waiting until Friday gives you enough time to backup your journal, then consider adding some of the taboo interests to your list. I plan to add "rape", because that is something I have survived and so, of course, a theme I explore in my poetry, for instance.

I am confused here. While I understand that the pedofile communities have been deleted (and it is about time that some of the ultra sick ones have), is it true that the survivors of rape, molestation, and incest communities have too? That is so freaking outrageous.

I think that's true. They even deleted/locked one that discusses the book, Lolita.

They're also deleting fandom comms... Baaaad idea. Some fandoms, especially the ones I'm on, are shit on enough by the mainstream (I'm a yaoi [male/male sex] fan); we don't take kindly to people claiming there's something wrong with what we do, and trying to silence us.
I'm gonna back up all the stuff on my comm (I think I have copies of most of it on my hd already), then I'm writing a nice, dirty fanfic on Friday... ^_^

I like this idea.

But I'd like to ask - I downloaded LJArchive, and it tells me it cannot commence the backup of my LJ without an encoding setting which it claims I can find on the edit personal info page, by the 'auto-convert older entries...' part. Trouble is, that no longer exists, so far as I can tell.

Do you have any idea what I should do?

I was worried about this too.

I would LOVE to take some kind of action against these assholes, however, I really would cry if I lost my journal that I have had since 2002...

I wonder if I should make a fake new account. Muwahahahaha!

Oh I will, I have not been touched directly by this just yet, but a comm I was in was suspended.

this is so unfair!! not being able to share our interest, we like slash, twincest XD etc and we enjoyed through words and images we're not about to jump over some stranger in the street.

=D you'll have my support on friday

oh, i will participate too... ;'>

i think lj must have considerations first before deleting accounts and communities... making a blog is no joke... it requires time and effort... sometimes, big sum of money... they did is something so unfair...

specially to those who just want to share their thoughts about surviving a rape...

can i ask some questions???

what about those icons that shows yaoi but the characters are already adult... they are just young-looking... will they still delete it???

off the topic:
what if a child prefer an adult to be his/her lover, does that mean that the person who is willing to be his/her lover is molesting him/her...

for instance, i prefer adult... old guys [age ranged from 40-50] are the best... because they are more experienced and has high moral values... they also treat me great... if i allow them to touch me, are they abusing me??? even i am willing???

i think law has flaws too...

I wonder about the questions you've raised too since I am wondering about one of my OTPs.

Said OTP is between a 17-year-old male (which is not legal age in America) and an approximately 45-year-old male.

Who also happens to be his genetic father.



I wish I could trust my writing skills, since I wouldn't mind prominently posting a lovely Laguna/Squall PWP on my journal.

I think this is a brilliant idea. However, I'm a bit wary about using my main LJ account to protest in this manner. I don't want my 4ish year old LJ to be deleted.

I will, however, participate in this protest, even if I have to use one of my other journals (I have one I was planning on deleting anyway, as well as an icon LJ and a writing LJ, which I may use for this purpose).

may i also suggest everyone use strikethrough 07 based icons for maybe.. a week? or until it all settles, whichever comes first.

it'll be a nice sight to see, every post with a strikethrough icon.

if you see me using your icon, i'm sorry i stole, but i WILL credit, count on that.

Um . . . considering that they didn't delete all the journals with any one keyword, it's pretty reasonable to assume that there were other factors in play, and even if you believe everything said in the apology, I don't believe it explicitly states that that was the only reason why journals were deleted.
