NEWS: Shota Community, Other LiveJournal Accounts Suspended

No, he's accusing me of being a Holocoust Denier.

There's a ton of stuff on the net, I don't have a taste for, but I stay away from it, and as far as I am concerned I don't care what people want to blog about, as long as it's not criminal in nature. I can't put my finger on the criminal aspects of Goth Loli, or Shota themes, but that's just me and my common sense thing.

The bottom line is, people have the right to blog about what they want, period.

Also, how many sources have you guys read? You make us seem as if we just found out that they deleted this stuff (when infact, it has been going on for days. It just reached it's peak last night), and then we went, "OMG! CREATE FANDOM_COUNTS!!11 ITLL SOLVE EVEYTING!" D:

And, where in the world, do you see screaming and official theme songs? I've been following several journals the whole day and I don't see any of that. Kindly link?

Perverted Justice (which is far more reliable than Warriors for Innocence and actually works with the police) had this to say about the big lj "purge"


Today LiveJournal/SixApart deleted a ton of LJ's that violated their "terms of service." We went after LiveJournal/SixApart months ago, with a very specific list of pedophile blogs and communities. Not only were the staff at LiveJournal/SixApart beyond condescending and rude in their replies, they defended the advocacy of pedophilia and pedophile communities as being acceptable under their Terms of Service, something we contested in our original Writeup about them.

So today, LJ decides to finally do something about the pedophile communities that had sprung up on their service. However, rather than listening to us months ago, they decided to just wipe out whole fields of communities whether they were related to those who advocate child rape or not. We're not quite sure who is running the show over at LJ, but until they state without condition that actual pedophile activists and those promoting child rape are disallowed from their service, we will continue to list them as an aggressive Corporate Sex Offender.

Apparently LiveJournal can't tell the difference between what a pedophile community is and a Harry Potter fan-fiction community despite being told months ago which is what.

So I don't know what the hell to do with this strange announcement about a deleted journal of an "out" pedophile which I found here on a site about pedophilia. (found via fandom_wank) while compiling links for this. I mean he is probably harmless. I wonder how long he'll last. And if he knows his kink and his wife is cool with it it is none of my damn business. But still. O_o

120+ links from all over about strikethough2007 inlcuding multiple sites to back up your lj, alternative blog sites, lists of people leaving lj and arriving at GJ. All in one place.

No. If someone told me that I could have my fill of anime and manga if only I would see my country destroyed, I'd tell him to keep it. My country comes first. Something trivial like anime comes second.

These people have every right to do what they're doing and more power to 'em. But I am seeing a lot of Nazi arguments and a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth over this - especially on the pages of the founders of this whole fandom_counts thing. That's what gets me - when they lay claim to being persecuted victims.

It's just Livejournal. Being upset is one thing. Making holocaust comparisons and acting like your rights are being violated is another. That's it.

Stuff like this makes me think they get off way, way more on the thought of being "persecuted" and engaging in this melodramatic nonsense than they actually enjoy their underage slash fiction or whatever.

Ah, finally we get some info from the masters of teh intarweb!

Fears alleviated. Shows over, nothing to see.

Dude, question not my sources. Know that I like many other people here have ljs, and since we're connected with anime we're all seeing the the fandom cries for blood first hand. Since I got off work I've been sitting here with nothing better to do than play PrincessMaker2, and look at all the chaos going on with the majority of the livejournal fangirls. Gotta love summer when there's no school, and no new LOST on Wednesday nights anymore. Maybe that's why the fandom of livejournal is so riled up. The no school part I mean, though I suppose the lack of LOST could play a small role. It is for me.

Anyway, don't get me wrong, I added myself to that community_counts. Viva la resistance!

But some people are taking this crap WAY too seriously; apparently they think the intarweb will explode!

And as to the pirate song, heh. It probably just hasn't evolved to your friend's page yet. As far as I can tell, this community was the start of it:
http://community.livejournal.com/innocence_jihad/

Just keep searching for the whole "never shall we die" stuff with your lovely little browser search feature in there *it's tricky since there's like... 50 new posts every half hour*. There's lots of icons too popping up with it. Pirates.. ... ughhh. And if you want me to link to each particular freaking post using it because you can't find it... ask me tomorrow.

Oh, and they went as far as to put it on wiki, and as EVERYONE KNOWS, if it's on wiki, it's official.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livejournal#Account_deletion_.28Strikethrough_.2707.29.

And my source has mainly just been this chick:
http://catrinella.livejournal.com/151812.html#cutid1
she has lots of nice links when I want to look in on the chaos some more, plus she isn't exactly screaming bloody murder.

And how is a group homophobic if they're targeting shota, but not lolita? Neither of those directly involves homosexuality. Sexist perhaps, homophobic? No.

WFI says that it did not report sites that are about what it termed as "Lolita fashion."

Now I have to go wonder if I need to start altering stuff in a community I run on livejournal because the main pairing of the anime/manga has a grown guy stuck in a child's body, who happens to have a questionable relationship with the main female character past the age of 17, and aparently this makes me a supporter of pedophilia. Bah

Fair enough, thought I consider that monstrous. But what of those who don't share that view? If you have no obligation to the loli fan to fight for his right to read loli, what obligation has he to cover up loli to protect your right to read non-loli manga?

[T]here is no aspect of life, public or private, civic or domestic, which can be without its obligation, whether in our individual concerns or in relations with our neighbor. Honorable behavior lies entirely in the performance of such obligations, and likewise base conduct lies in neglecting them.

The drama is over, the battle remains. Nothing's over until the "Rape all the children" group gets treated the same as the "let's enjoy knitting" group.

[T]he reason commands, and the appetite obeys. Our every action must steer clear of rashness and carelessness, and must do nothing for which a praiseworthymotive cannot be adduced; indeed, this is virtually a description of obligation. We must ensure that our appetites obey the reason, and neither run ahead of it nor shrink from it through cowardice. They must be serene and clear of all mental disturbance, and this will ensure that steadfastness and self-restraint will emerge in all their glory.

I understand about the shota community being deleted since it is all about depicting little boys in sexual situations. But I find it sad that LJ seems to be jumping the gun and deleting peoples' accounts just because they have yaoi as an interest.

I don't know much about the private company policy verses government policy so I won't make a comment on that, but I do feel a bit astounded that lj would delete customer's accounts (that have yaoi, not shota, as an interest) without checking into the lj first.

Sorry. ALL the shouta I've ever seen is out the yaoi community meaning it's ALL man/boy or boy/boy. I have never seen older woman/boy shouta titles.
