[ you must chill ]
everybody knows i love freedom of expression.
this ain't it. (link is nsfw and also pretty despicable, imho.)
maybe we'll all pick up and wander off or whatever. maybe fandom will decide to go all haywire and make their own space on the web, maybe we'll all have to uproot ourselves and exodus from the reign of stinky stinky six apart. but let's not make martyrs out of molehills, okay?
eta: in case i was somehow unclear, the following two things are true:
1. i find that image repulsive. personally, ethically, ugh. i also find rapefic, bestiality and torture to be by and large repulsive.
2. i cannot fault lj for banning it because it's illegal. i do not support the banning of any user over the perceived offensiveness of their material, only its legality.
eta II, much after the fact: i see that people are still keen to talk this one over. good for you. it's good to keep informed. but just so you know, a lot of information came out between the time this was posted and the three days later that some of this conversation is happening in. we know more things now, things have been confirmed, proven false, proven different. i therefore stand by two things i said in the original post: 1. sixapart stinks, and 2. you must, MUST chill. i stand by all things said in the first ETA.

(Anonymous) 2007-08-05 02:35 am (UTC)(link)The picture in the first link was posted quite a while before the drama went down throughout this summer so at the very least it wasn't put up when LJ was making any big deal over anything like this.

If in fact the Harry in the pic that she supposedly got banned for is of age, I, again personally, would have made sure that there was a header stating this, rather than put myself and the community in the line of fire.
Make no mistake, I do not agree with the way LJ handled the situation. I think their decision to ban without truly investigating a matter is appalling to say the least. It is conviction without trial, imho, and I'm against it.
