Why Does LJ Hate Faeries? Does SUP Disapprove Of The Faerie Festivals?

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 03:32am on 2008-03-17

Just a drive-by post because Saturday took a lot out of me and then a migraine late Sunday took what was left.

I know I've got various friends interested in Faeries of various sorts and in various ways. Interestingly, LiveJournal does not deem them a fit subject to display in the list of "popular interests". Along with other alarming censorship ah, image-sanitizing-to-not-spook-advertisers choices. Note that my guess as to motive is nothing more than a guess. I'll read the rest of the entry I linked to, and other discussion of this matter, when my head hurts less.

Those of you reading this on InsaneJournal, DeadJournal, CommieJournal, JournalFen, CrazyLife, Blurty, Scribbld, or GreatestJournal may snicker and point, growl, or look on your LJ-using friends with pity, as you deem appropriate. Those of you reading this on LiveJournal ... well I'll make up my mind what to do about this after my headache passes, but I encourage you all to ponder what it implies about SUP / LJ Inc. and their relationship with us, the users.

I know that it's the fanfic censorship that everyone's worked up about, but I was really alarmed to see that they censored "depression."

%Who would want to talk about that? If we talk about it, we might be able to *do* something about it...%

"snicker, growl, ... or pity"

And this is one of the reasons I find it hard to move to *Journal (* != Live); the communities seem like they're purposely hostile to transitioners, even in casual reference. Way to go, guys! Shades of holier-than-thou *nux early adopters all over again...
