misanagi: (Fiction)
[personal profile] misanagi
LJ is being Big Brother again... I have no words on how sad this makes me. I long for that fanish archive/journal. In any case, I'm mis_is_good at GJ. misanagi was taken there *glares at the person* so this is the new name thingy for GJ. If you are there friend me, drop me a line or something.

Anyway, the fiction icon I'm using is free for the taking and now I made an art one you can take too.



Any strikethrough related icons you want, just let me know and I'll make them for you.

They suspended Ponderosa122 and another HP fanartist for objectionable content or whatever. Check Muskrit's journal, or Blue Soaring, they have links and the exact info. In short, LJ is taking action against people in fandom again. Not encouraging at all.

Don't you just love it when you have NO CLUE what's going on and something big obviously happened? ^^;; Was it very bad that they suspended those accounts?

Beautiful icons, by the way.

It is because LJ is censoring art. They want to keep objectionable material away but who determines what that is? It's like when they suspended all those coms a couple of months ago. It's not just that I've known of Ponderosa since years ago and followed her art and fiction. The point is that censorship is dangerous and just because Harry/Snape isn't my pairing of choice it doesn't mean that people being tossed from LJ for drawing it is okay.

These policies make LJ no longer a welcoming place for fandom. We all express ourselves artistically, follow people who do or both and LJ is no longer a safe place to do that when people are being suspended because a drawing of an underage character. This type of censorship really scares me because it starts as a small thing people could maybe shrug off but it can lead to so much more.

I'm quite zombie today so I apologize if I'm not making much sense now but here are a couple of links for people who summarized what's going on better than me.

That person is most definitely not me. *glares at her* I'm not hopeful at all with how things are going here. Actually, I'm pretty uncomfortable with the site right now.
