Because I wasn't sure if clairvoyantwank would accept this (there are very little lulz in this report, unfortuntely):

thevelvetsun has a petition post calling for the LJ team to permenantly suspect the proanorexia comm. Not surprisingly, a lot of people support it.

However, there's a lot of wank brewing in the comments to the separate discussion entry in which defenders of the comm snipe back and forth with people who support [info]thevelvetsun's cause.

And this post makes an argument against shutting down proanorexia.

So you can guess how the rest of the argument is going to turn out.

LJ'll never take action against the proannas because their issue isn't an emotionally reactive one (ie, it's easy to go "THINK OF THE CHILUNS!!!", but it's less easy to care about a real problem that's more complex than good v. bad).

SixApart is an awful company.

I'm expecting it to take the parents of a pro-ana kid to find out where their child has been getting information on it and suing 6A to get them to do anything about it.

This is the hypocrisy of fandom. And this is really why it needs to shut up now.

Fandom v anorexics death match! I know which side my money's on.

There's also [info]6a_cornfield.

I don't have words for lj/6a anymore. Especially before tea.

Actually, if it's wanky, it can go in [info]fandom_wank. I don't think we banished anything to a new cornfield.

Dear cassia112,

There were no big words in sheana's post and you not knowing them has nothing to do with being British, trust me.

You know, if having tits makes me look like a fat cow, sign me up for a pasture. Now I'm going to go stuff myself full of cupcakes to make up for having seen that.

Why is this even happening? You'd think with the distress fandom feels over some of their own being deleted, they wouldn't be jumping on the bandwagon to delete anyone. I'm not pro-anorexia by any means, but I am pro-free speech.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Evidently all those people who've told me I should go into law are on to something, because the first thing I noticed was that in the part of the TOS the petition quotes ("[y]ou agree to NOT use the Service to promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities, promote physical harm or injury against any governmental entity, group or individual,") the modifier "governmental" may be meant to apply to "group" and "individual" as well as to "entity," in which case the entire petition is based on nothing at all, or LJ could successfully argue that.

...I don't WANNA be a lawyer!

I stumbled across pro-ed communities when I first joined LJ several years ago (looking for weight loss support comms) and was appalled at their existence and popularity. It never occurred to me that it would be against LJ's TOS though.

I have a 16 year old sister who is on LJ. She suffers from a rare illness that occasionally makes it difficult for her to eat. Her "friends" started spreading rumors that she had an eating disorder and she was devestated.

I'm glad to see people taking a stand against something so harmful. I just wish it hadn't taken this long.

This sort of thing is only going to lead to a HUGE grudge between fandom and the pro-ed people. Does fandom think the eating disorder people aren't now going to trawl LJ for something that looks fishy and report it?

You know what would be funny in a headdesky way? If the proscurvy comm got suspended for advocating self-harm, but the pro-ana comm gets left up.

I DO think the pro-anorexia community is harmful, and should be taken care of. However, I hate that fandom's turned it into another whiny tirade that's allllll about them. Guys, shut up about the damn Snarry porn. There are more serious issues out there, you're just making everyone look bad.
