Fandom no longer exists! Superficially, anyway.
SUP has edited which interests show up as 'most popular'.

Interests that won't show up no matter how popular they are? Fandom, fan fic, fanfic, fan fiction, porn, fanfiction, girls, boys, sex.

THE CAKE IS A LIE.

If this is more appropriate for [info]6a_cornfield, let me know and I'll move it. It's just that there doesn't seem to be wank about it yet, and I thought people might have fun figuring out what else isn't being counted.

Edit: A table of disappeared interests. "Faeries" has now disappeared as well -- thinly-veiled homophobia or a secret SUP hatred of fey creatures?

Current list of magically disappearing interests: Sex, Boys, Guys, Girls, Fanfiction, Yaoi, Hardcore, Porn, Bondage, Faeries, Pain, Depression, and Bisexuality.

Edit II: [info]luthe says that guys is back on the list.

Edit III: Filter has been removed! Cue discussion of whether or not it was a mistake as Marta claims, which is currently going on in this Fandom Lounge post.

I like how they've removed "boys," "guys," and "girls," but not "women." That totally makes sense!

... and not "men," either. And they take out all sorts of relatively harmless stuff, but leave in "blood," "death," and "drugs"? Just how are they deciding what to censor?

"boys" and "girls" because they MIGHT mean young boys and girls and that's just SICK AND WRONG?!!

I dunno. That's what I thought when I saw "men" and "women" remained and "guys" came back, while "boys" and "girls" still aren't on there. However, it's still pretty stupid.
